The 72 Most Popular Fantasy Novels of the Past Three Years

"Fantasy literature is arguably the single oldest genre in all of storytelling. Contemporary fantasy has its roots, overtly or not, in world mythology and folklore, which in turn have their roots in oral traditions that extend back beyond recorded history. Old!

But today we're interested in new fantasy. Gathered below are the most popular fantasy books of the past three years, as determined by reader shelvings and reviews. All books listed here were published in 2019 or later, in the U.S., and for fantasy series with multiple titles (Armentrout! Butcher! Maas!) we've listed the first series book published in that time period.

History nerds will find that all this makes for a fascinating reading list, with explorations and riffs on dozens of literary archetypes and world mythologies."
