Title: Listmania: 2008 most anticipated fantasy novels (amazon)
Post by: Comatose on June 14, 2008, 02:01:02 AM
Just wondering if anyone else has seen this, I thought it was pretty cool, and if you notice, hero of ages is number 5!

I don't think that list quite reflects the mass fantasy populice, because Breaking Dawn isn't listed, and I know that's going to be one of (if not the) most popular releases this year.

You could argue that The Hero of Ages is actually number 4 since Wise Man's Fear won't be coming out until sometime in 2009.

And what about book 5 in Novik's Temeraire books, huh?

Uhhm, any Amazon user can make a Listmania list. This list was made by Victoria "starbrow." It shows Brandon has one fan, which is great, but... ;)

Ookla's right—anyone can make a Listmania. This is the biased opinion of a semi-fan. If it wasn't, Brisingr would be on it. As would several of the other books here listed.

Still, I know Hero of Ages is my most anticipated novel this year. That's what counts.

Wise Man's Fear is next year's.

Sorry bout that, guessI got all excited over nothing!  :-[

And I don't know about Brisingr, Eldest kind of ruined the series for me.  Eragon was decent, and had potential, but in my opinoin, Eldest was horrid!
