Really cool. I wish they would have included more modern sci-fi series though. As nice as the classics are there are some amazing contemporary authors. Peter F Hamilton, Adrian Tchaikovsky, and Alastair Reynolds come to mind.
I loved Wizard's First Rule, but it was all downhill from there. Also, I bet if I was to read it again now many years later and knowing how the rest of the series went, I doubt I would love it still XD
I remember reading Wizards First Rule in high school and being riveted. It was unlike any fantasy novel I had read to that point and it felt dark and exciting (although the Mord Sith torture sequence nearly lost me as a reader). I too drifted off at the sequels. It was like he didn’t know what else to say.
Hmm...while I like a ton of the books on this list, I feel like a lot of it falls under the usual failing of such lists where they ignore the fact that books have been made after the year 2000.
There's some exceptions on there, but it very much is a "greatest hits" list without acknowledging that a lot of those books have been usurped with better modern writing.
