Gormenghast being tied with the Eragon books is all you need to know for the quality of this ranking. One of the most deeply textured prose works of the 20th century being ranked equal to a nepo teenage publishing a Star Wars find-and-replace fanfic.
Also time for boomer fantasy knowledge, but the Deathgate Cycle, which didn't make the list, is the most criminally underrated series out there. Published back in the height of AD&D 2nd edition, it's one of the last great series where the authors didn't need to include any meta commentary or shoehorn in present day identity politics or representation.

i haven’t read Gormenghast but i couldn’t even finish Eragon when i was 12 years old. it’s garbage.
i’m still pissing and pooping at TH White being well over halfway down the list. Once and Future King made me cry so hard, lol.

Six of Crows is pretty good reading but the rest of the books in that series are cancer

Yeah I hated it.
They basically mushed the characters from her good book(the crows) with the characters from her bad book(the darkling guy and the Asian chick with sparkle powers) the story made no sense. The only good part is Jesper’s actor. I love him sm. Wish they’d just adapted Six of Crows exclusively I love shady gang adventures.

i have never read the books, but i was dating a russian guy when the tv show came out, and he wanted to watch it cause he thought it was funny. he was like “imagine if you emigrated to a country and there was a super popular book and tv series called Joeworld where all wizards were called Joes.” i too agree that this is funny
