If you are like me, then you are a huge fantasy fan. It is easily my favorite genre and I have to force myself to read to read other books. But for this list, we will be staying with this genre as we share our list of the 21 must read fantasy books of all time!

Codex Alera started as a drunken bet between Jim and another party that he couldn't write a series on just two wildly disparate concepts. They were "pokemon" and "the lost Roman legion" lmao idk about your feelings but book series founded on foolish drunken bets probably don't deserve much respect. This is a wondrous exception to that rule.
