"Sadly, I am not what one would call an influencer. Thus, as I embarked on the lofty task of determining the most influential fantasy books of the last 10 years, I had much to consider. What exactly makes a book influential?
Is it the book you can't seem to get away from on Bookstagram and BookTok? Or is it the book that pushed the genre in a new direction? Perhaps it's both of those things — or neither.
Well, in my highly subjective list, it's "both and." I claim my god-given bisexual right to want it all. The books below run the gamut from critically acclaimed to confusingly popular and everything in between." - Mikkaka Overstreet/Book Riot
