Comment on You Compete Against the Classics

Tolkien and Jordan also have recent TV shows, which definitely influence what books the stores will display.

Or a good series PERIOD!
I also like the steampunk Clockwork Century books from Cherie Priest.

For sure, they’re incredible. I’ve only personally read Jade City, but haven’t circled back yet. I’m assured by friends the whole series is great.
Just wanted to point it out since the fantasy genre is so freaking male dominated.
