Terry must be pleased that he has a tier all to himself. He really is in a league of his own!

[landonsabey]

I'm seeing a lot of back and forth with Name of the Wind, and I get how people say it draged, but I think that the way the story is told is the so new and unique to me with a character who is alone but not some dark depressed loner, one of my favorites but I see how it's not for everyone

[petayparsit]

Name of the Wind is such a pleasure to read. So subtle, yet memorable. Its an S in my list. Maybe the best I've read in this genre.

[iOSgamer]

Me, new to fantasy: S tier looks like a good reading list

[Neph-]

You should make a tier-list of your tier-list videos.

[grantholmes]

Im surprised you hadnt read Eragon. I thought every fantasy loving teenager read that book.

[nyxicide]

Name of the wind is one of my top five fantasy stories ever LMAO. I love the writing style so much. It's the series that finally inched up above wheel of time for me, or at least tied it as favorite. Wheel of time, name of the wind, and Robin Hobb's books in Fitz's world

[DanielGreeneReviews]

Series I forgot! Inheritance cycle, John Carter of Mars, Discworld, Narnia, and I should have broken up forgotten realms by story.

[zachgranat]

S- Difficult to pronounce letter for some people. I say it's D-tier.
A- King of the alphabet. First and one of the best letters. Easy S-tier pick.
B- Also a strong letter. Gonna assign it to A-tier.
C- Somehow, I'm just not really feeling it with this classic. Gonna put it in B-tier.
D- Well this one was fun for a while. Now it's lost much of its charm. But, for nostalgia alone, I'll put this letter at C-tier.

I was at a Barnes and Noble with some friends looking at the fantasy section, and it was fun to see how many series I recognized from your videos. While there, I remembered your Recommendation for The Lies of Locke Lamora, so I hunted it down and bought it. I have consistently read to around midnight each night, and spent three hours this morning reading. It is legitimately so good, that I might put as one of my favorite books, even though I’m not done. Thank you so much for recommending this
EDIT: I am now finished with the book, and disregarding the Stormlight Archive since that will always be my favorite, this is my new favorite book/book series (though I hesitate to say series, since I have yet to read Red Seas under Red Skies or the Republic of Thieves yet)

[joserobertolorenzana]

Seeing the kingkiller chronicle going all the way down to C broke my heart. It impacted me in such a way i cant spend too much time without going back to it

[outsidethewall]

Surprised not to see any Robin Hobb on here, based on the series in your list that I have read, and how you ranked them, I think you would enjoy her work. I kind of see her books as a sort of middle ground between ASIAF and Stormlight. Her characters are put through the absolute ringer, and she is a lot more graphic than Sanderson in some ways but nowhere near as graphic as martin. Her stories are very character and perspective driven too, which both Martin and Sanderson do well. I'm sure I am not the first to recommend her books but i seriously love them more than any other series apart from stormlight. Obviously everyone is different though

Edit: I've just realised this is an older video and you have now read Farseer because you included Fitz in your favourite characters video lol

[zachcollins]

Me thinking he was going to put “The Name of The Wind” in S Class without thinking

[IPH-]

The Name of the Wind is the best book I have ever had the pleasure to read. The writing style is beautiful.

[theatom]

This is both a good and dangerous list.

[LemJoseph]

Never watched a video of yours before. I have read 6 of the series you ranked here, was worried you were going to disappoint me when I saw the Wheel go all the way to the end. Then you said it is your favorite and I clicked subscribe, lol. May you always find water and shade sir.

[sergioe]

Name of the Wind a C tier? You broke my heart, Fredo.

[TheDictismiT]

FINE!


I´ll read The Witcher dammit
