Top 25 Best Fantasy Books Since 2010

Sometimes you don't want to wade through older books when picking out your next selection of best fantasy to read. As impacting and awesome as some of the older 'greats' are, it does get a bit tiring seeing 'Lord of the Rings', Malazan Book of the Fallen, The Black Company, The Name of the Wind, and Game of Thrones tossed on pretty much every best fantasy list ever made and posted to the web somewhere.

The solution was pretty easy: cook up a list of the best books that have been published the past five years (2010+). And exactly this did I do. I've carefully selected what I feel are the best, most significant fantasy reads to come out the past four/five years. So you can think of this as a "Best Fantasy of the Past Half Decade' list.

Note...this ONLY includes books and series that have been published from 2010 to the present (2014/2015). Any series that was published before 2010 but has had books released the past couple years won’t be shown. So if you folks leave angry comments asking why Lord of the Rings or some other book PUBLISHED BEFORE 2010 has not been included on this list, I'm going to be angry :)
