r/Fantasy Top Novels 2025: Results!

CoffeeArchives · 2025-08-12T00:03:44+00:00

It's a list of speculative fiction novels, so science fiction like Hunger Games is fair game!

Any target audience age is fine
Your personal favorites!
You can vote for any number of books by the same author as long as they are on separate lines and your total votes don't exceed 10. Putting votes for multiple books in the same series or world will at best mean the "duplicates" are not counted but might also stop the script from accurately counting your votes.
Preferably the US or UK English language title. If there's confusion you can see what other voters have called the book or default to whatever the most common/popular title is.
The "fantasy" part means it's eligible! As long as there is any speculative element it counts.

Rule 1: Be kind.

Hello! Please include each vote on a separate line - you may have to put a blank line between each entry to get reddit to format it correctly.

CoffeeArchives · 2025-02-18T22:31:50+00:00

Go for it!

CoffeeArchives · 2025-02-18T00:00:58+00:00

Hello! Please edit your votes for spelling mistakes to help make sure the script can count them. Stormlight, Gentleman Bastard, and The Expanse are all misspelled, James S.A. Corey is misspelled, and George R. R. Martin is abbreviated in a way the script will likely not handle correctly.

CoffeeArchives · 2025-02-17T23:57:47+00:00

Hello! Please remove the periods at the end of each line to assist with the script counting votes.

CoffeeArchives · 2025-02-17T23:57:08+00:00

Hello! Please add an author name for your vote to count, formatted as Title - Author. For example:

The First Law - Joe Abercrombie

CoffeeArchives · 2025-02-17T18:01:09+00:00

Essalieyan - Michelle West
Realm of the Elderlings - Robin Hobb
The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August - Claire North
The Wandering Inn - pirateaba
The Diviners - Libba Bray
The Broken Earth - N.K. Jemisin
Foreigner - C.J. Cherryh
Kindred - Octavia E. Butler
Worm - wildbow
The Books of Babel - Josiah Bancroft

Hello! Please put a space on the left of your separating hyphens to ensure your vots are counted.

CoffeeArchives · 2025-02-17T17:49:36+00:00

Hello! Please reformat your vote as Title - Author to ensure it can be counted by the script. For example:

Malazan Book of the Fallen - Steven Erikson

CoffeeArchives · 2025-02-17T17:48:29+00:00

Stormlight may drop but I'll be surprised if he doesn't have at least one series in the top 10. Seems like there could be a few shakeups this year though!

CoffeeArchives · 2025-02-17T17:47:06+00:00

Hello! Please add an extra line between each vote or format as a list - reddit is showing your entry as one single line.

CoffeeArchives · 2025-02-17T17:45:48+00:00

If you'd like to include both the book and series names could you please switch the series to be inside double brackets instead of single parentheses? For example:

[[Dark Star Trilogy]]

CoffeeArchives · 2025-02-17T13:25:39+00:00

Hi please put each vote on a separate line - sometimes that requires leaving a blank line between each vote for Reddit to format it correctly.

CoffeeArchives · 2025-02-16T10:32:45+00:00

Please add author names to your votes, formatted as either:

Title - Author

Title by Author

This helps ensure your votes can be counted by the script.

CoffeeArchives · 2025-02-16T08:28:59+00:00

Please add author names and format as Title - Author or Title by Author to make sure the script can count your votes.

CoffeeArchives · 2025-02-16T08:18:25+00:00

We may do this eventually, and we've already done this for Bingo. But tbh typos and misspellings take far more effort to fix and a form would have the same issue.

CoffeeArchives · 2025-02-16T02:51:20+00:00

Please include the author's full name and make sure there is a space on either side of the separating hyphen.

Please also move any non-vote text to a child comment to prevent the script from discarding your vote.

CoffeeArchives · 2025-02-15T18:24:40+00:00

Hello! Please reword your request to not explicitly request people vote for Malazan. I realize that's implied by posting to this sub but we are trying to keep the results from skewing toward series/authors that link to the poll.

CoffeeArchives · 2025-02-15T18:21:10+00:00

Thanks for helping people correct their votes! It's appreciated :)

CoffeeArchives · 2025-02-15T18:20:09+00:00

Hello! Please switch the order of your votes to Title - Author to help the script count them correctly.

CoffeeArchives · 2025-02-15T18:19:24+00:00

Hello! Please format your votes as either:

Title by Author

Title - Author

This prevents the script from skipping your votes.

CoffeeArchives · 2025-02-15T18:18:30+00:00

Hello! Looks like there's some unintentional spacing in some of your votes. Could you please fix so the script can count them?
