R/Fantasy 2016 Top Novels

A list of the best fantasy books as rated by the /r/fantasy subreddit. 3223 votes were cast, and this list contains all 123 books which received four or more votes, ranked in order of most votes to least. For this list, all works in a universe are put under the same title, e.g. The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit and The Silmarillion all come under Middle Earth. Some series received the same number of votes as others, and so should have equal rank, but that couldn't be shown on this list.
The original results thread is linked.
