Take a Reading Quest With Reader-Approved Epic Fantasies

"For those of us on the nerdier end of the book-person spectrum, nothing satisfies quite like epic fantasy. There's something about the grand themes, the detailed world-building, and, yes, the colossal page counts. Epic fantasy is the endurance sport of recreational reading. It toughens you up.

But with those book page counts that run into the thousands (and series that run into the dozens), epic fantasy demands commitment. If you're embarking on a new quest, you want to know what you're getting into.

We've gathered here several dozen of the most popular and beloved epic fantasies in this ever-expanding genre, from stone-cold classics (J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings) to recent and intriguing variations on the theme (R.F. Kuang's The Poppy Wars)."
