Yes. Which makes it difficult to complain about the choices. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 12/08/2011 06:30:01 PM
And hence my opinion that most of them are chosen for nostalgia reasons. I LOVE the Belgariad, a lot, it's definitely one of my favourite reads. That's because it's the first overt fantasy series I read, and that was when I was 10.

But if the question had been "Best SF & Fantasy" I'd never have chosen that, nor indeed the Feist, much as I love the Riftwar Saga.

That makes sense but the problem is YA is more of a marketing tool than a genre random thoughts - 13/08/2011 03:27:45 AM 965 Views
