If you are like me, then you are a huge fantasy fan. It is easily my favorite genre and I have to force myself to read to read other books. But for this list, we will be staying with this genre as we share our list of the 21 must read fantasy books of all time!

He has Way of Kings on there as a separate listing, so he's not ignoring the rest of the cosmere

Granted, it's generally a weak list. Night Angel was hot garbage, and eclipsed by Weeks own later series lightbringer even in spite of it's terrible last portion.

Night Angel is maybe the oddest choice on that list. I don't think it's hot garbage, but Lightbringer is much better, though probably also doesn't deserve to be on the list unless we're talking hard magic systems. If the author needs an assassin book.... well I think there's no shortage of those in the genre.
