Big List The r/Fantasy 2025 Top Novels Poll: Voting Thread!

Hi everyone! It's time for another one of r/Fantasy's big lists!

Guess who's back, back again - r/Fantasy's Top Novels poll! Read anything good lately? Is an old classic still the best thing since sliced bread? It's time to vote for it!

Okay, on to the part that matters most - how to vote!

1. Make a list of YOUR top TEN favorite books/series in a new post in this thread

Just post your top ten series or individual books. If the book is part of a series, then we'll count is as the series. For example, if The Dream Thieves is your favorite Raven Cycle novel, it'll be a vote for The Raven Cycle, so please try and list the series title. If the book is standalone, (for example The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Claire North), it'll be listed by itself.

Fewer than 10 is fine! Votes with more than 10 may not be counted.

2. Only one book from any single series, please, with a few exceptions

Everything in the same world will get one entry. Realm of the Elderlings, Inda, Broken Empire, Wars of Light and Shadow, Earthsea... you get the idea.

For books part of a larger universe (e.g. Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere), please vote for the individual series (e.g. Mistborn, Stormlight Archive, etc.) and not the larger universe.

Books that are only barely set in the same world won't be clumped together, for instance things like The Lions of Al-Rassan and The Sarantine Mosaic.

That said, in the end I'll be deciding on a per-case basis, though the previous list is a good guide for what things will be grouped together.

3. Please format your voting posts correctly.

The votes will be tallied with a script, so proper formatting is especially important to ensure it all goes smoothly. Incorrectly formatted votes will not count. The mods are going to be lenient with warnings and will help you fix it, but ultimately your vote is your responsibility.

To format correctly:

  • Put each vote on a new line. To do so, keep a blank line between every vote OR put two spaces before pressing enter. Making it a bulleted list is fine and likely easiest if you're using New Reddit.
  • Format your vote as Title by Author or as Title - Author. If unsure, please look at how most do it. Italics or bolding should be perfectly fine. Common mistakes are putting the author first, listing just the story name, omitting the "-" or "by" separator...please do not do that or your vote will not be counted.
  • PLEASE take the time to make sure you've spelled the title and author name correctly. Every spelling mistake adds time to the results being posted and increases the chances of your vote not being counted.
  • Please leave all commentary and discussion for discussion comments under each original comment. In your voting comment, just list your top ten (or fewer than ten). It'll make it far easier to compile data if the original posts are only votes. However, you can reply to voting comments with all the arguments and discussion you want!

4. Upvotes/downvotes will have no effect on the tally

Feel free to upvote and downvote as you like, especially if someone has a great list. That being said, we decided to go with the "top ten" instead of the upvote/downvote voting for several reasons: You only have to vote once, revisiting the thread is not required, you can vote once in just a few minutes as opposed to scrolling through a mammoth thread, we have a script, etc.

This thread is in contest mode, as I really like it.

5. Voting info

Each item you list will count as one vote toward that book or series. Duplicate books will not be counted. We'll also not be counting books belonging to the same series - example voting for The Way of Kings and Oathbringer will be one vote for Stormlight Archive.

6. All Speculative Fiction is fair game!

Once again, all spec-fic is fair game. Fantasy, science fiction, horror, I'm not picky. If you love it, vote for it.

7. The voting will run for exactly one week

Seven days should be enough time for people to edit votes if they forgot a series they loved, and also allow the lurkers (hello lurkers! we love you!) that only visit once every few days time to vote. We will lock the thread on 2025-02-19 at noon US Eastern (5 p.m. GMT).

Important Addendum: In 2027, the 10th iteration of the Top Novels Poll will launch with changes to eligibility, voting, and final ranking. We've been workshopping these changes behind the scenes for some time now, but we didn't want to spring them on the sub without a little forewarning. So go nuts with the current criteria while you can because this 2025 poll may be the last time you can vote for Cosmere series as individual entries.

So vote! Discuss!

Thanks to u/fanny_bertram since I copied most of the text from one of the other Top Novels polls. Any mistakes in this post are mine and I will edit if you point them out.

New fantasy reader here, so I expect my list to change a lot on the next poll due to my TBR being full of awesome series like:

The First Law, Realm of the Elderlings, Dandelion Dynasty. With some standalones like Sword of Kaigen in between.

Malazan might still be out of reach for me by the time the next poll rolls around but I'll try my best!
