So, If I didn't screw up, it goes like this (and I'm counting all the votes casted by Petrik): Malazan - 6 votes First Law - 5 votes Realm od the Elderings - 5 votes Lord of the Rings - 4 votes Stormlight Archive - 4 votes Faithful and the Fallen / Banished Land - 4 votes Discworld - 3 votes And then there were a lot of series with 2 or 1 votes. I'm really surprised that none voted for the Kingkiller Chronicle.

Thanks for having me, Matt! I loved the variety of channels and series represented. Fantasy is such an inspiring genre, and there's a series for every reader!

Thanks so much for having us on! Awesome seeing all of these brilliant booktubers gushing about their favourite books!

Thank you for inviting me to participate in this massive project, Matt, and congratulations on putting it together -- excellent job!

Me: taking notes Also me: *shouldn’t start new series until I finish the ones I’m currently reading*

There is someting very inspiring about watching people talk about books they love with passion. I will never get tired of this :)

Thank you for inviting me on!!This is an incredibly impressive collaboration! I don't know how you managed to organise something this large!

What an amazing video! Thank you so so much for inviting me! I guess I'll need to finally pick up Malazan...

This is amazing Matt! Thank you so much for including me and thank you for putting all the work into this epic collaboration!

I love these types of videos, they really show just how beautifully diverse this genre is, there's something to love for any kind of reader!! And it's just wonderful to see so many of my favourite people in the community all together in one video. Thanks so much for assembling this, I loved it!

Thanks so much for the invite Matt!!! Such an amazing cast in this short film that it needs to be submitted to Sundance. Lol. Thanks again man.

Thanks for inviting me to be part of this! So great to see the favorite series from so many awesome booktubers!

Thank you for inviting me to be a part of this! 50 booktubers must have been a lot to organise! 😍

Loved this so much - loved all the different perspectives! So wonderful

I like how when you get to mine the audio immediately jumps out as amateurish and the video is hella out of focus. I would have it no other way. In fact I will create it no other way.

Awesome video, thanks so much for doing the hard work of compiling this, and thank you to all of the creators to take time to share their favorite series! Such a great idea👍

Thank you for inviting me to this collaboration, Matt! As others have said, this is such an impressive list of amazing booktubers!

Thank you for inviting me to take part in this incredible video! So many awesome recommendations for me to add to my TBR!

Thanks for having me, Matt. Loved to see the variety of series featured here.

Wow what an undertaking and awesome final result! Thanks for inviting me to contribute, and it was great fun seeing everyone’s picks!

This was fantastic - thanks for including me! Honored to be in a video with so many of these great people.

Thank you so much for asking me to be a part of this! What an amazing video.

This was such a great video, Matt! Thanks for inviting me to participate in this awesome collaboration!

What a brilliant video. As I've just gotten into reading in general, and fantasy being my favourite genre. It helps me to try some different types of fantasy books! Thank you Matt and book tubers 😄

Great collaboration!! Awesome picks!

Thank you Matt for doing this epic rec list collab...and as someone who is relatively behind in the genre I am happy to add so many many books to my TBR!

Very cool video idea I’ve read a lot of fantasy and I got introduced to some new series!

This was really great Matt! Thanks for putting it together, and including me in it.

Wow. Over 50 booktubers! Well done on putting this together (and thank you to all the participants). It felt like I was watching all the latest videos from my favourite booktubers all in one go lol.

Thanks Matt, for including me in this stellar line-up with lots of great recommendations!

Great video. Wouldve love to see Mike from Mikes book reviews on here but loved the entries.

This was such a great compilation. Thanks for putting this together!

Thanks for doing this, it was very interesting! I will say, I was kind of surprised at how often the big series were said, but it’s good that some were telling about some lesser known ones as well haha.

Keep doing these Matt! They bring book tube together and we get to see so many different great books! :)

Been binging your videos over the last couple weeks and had finally started to run out so this came at the perfect time! Keep up the high-effort content and keep being authentic to your own tastes, we all appreciate it.

Glad to see you all here in one place, I hope all of you and your loved ones are in good health

I think this might possibly be the biggest fantasy collab in booktube till date ! Thanks for this Matt.

Thanks so much for inviting me! This was a ton of fun to watch. -T

Thanks so much for this! It's so great to be able to hear so many opinions because at the end of the day we cannot read everything so we need to help each other out

I am BAFFLED that no one definitively chose Mistborn! I also figured Kingkiller would get a mention too. So many great series mentioned here, and I'm excited to read those mentioned that I've yet to get to!

Interesting to hear everyone's thoughts. I'm a fan of almost every series listed. Shout out to those who said R Scott Bakker's The Second Apocalypse. I grew up reading The Wheel of Time starting in the early 90s to 2013s A Memory of Light. It has too much sentimental value for me to ever be dislodged as the best but The Second Apocalypse is sure close

Wow what a giant line up of incredible booktubers ❤ thanks again for having me and I'm glad it seems I'm not the only person who pick there favourite "today" series 😂😂

Epic mash up!! Thanks for making this video :)

I'm glad to see all these recommendations. I'm always on the look out for another great fantasy series. I guess I am in the minority when it comes to "The First Law" trilogy. I finished them, but I really didn't enjoy much at all about them. I don't understand all the praise, but different strokes for different folks. I will definitely be giving some of these others a try! My favorite series has to be R. A. Salvatore's Drizzt series in the forgotten realms. I think the characters are very well written and the fight choreography is some of the best I have read.

You know what's cool? It's fun to listen to people talk passionately about their favourite books even if they aren't series i am not particularly fond of.

I plan to make a fantasy comic book if i can, and i really needed a few inspirations because holy moly its so hard to make a fantasy world from scratch. Especially by myself. I will try to find all of the top rated recommendations in my native language :) thank you for the video!

Bookborn, We are halfway through The Way of Kings. I'm hooked for sure! About a year and a half ago, we stopped watching tv at night before bed and started reading books together outloud, oftentimes, in our hot tub. It's a great way to chill and connect 😊

Hi Matt, I loved how you were able to band together so many fantasy lovers for this so-called collaboration. One person mentioned name of Greg Keyes in his comment (also comes from that country where I live), but I think Keyes is very rarely mentioned in these best fantasy series videos, but it is worth it. Especially his "Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone" series. Not say it is my favorite of favoritest, but it has some good elements. Why do I think this series is special? I think the series has a very strong concepcition in depecting what kind of scams lie behind our myths and beliefs. He also turns the elf-like tropes out, here the other race does not yearn for wandering to "Happy Island", but recreate, moreover revideal and redefine themselves. His nature is also fresh in fantasy: here, behind the humanoid races and the various groupings, creatures which come from the magic of the world and the forces behind the visible world, there is also an another ancient elemental force, power, which is not essentially mythical, but almost like a natural cycle, that resurfaces from time to time, like the various great extinctions of Earth - this is no longer the final march of Treebeard and the Ents, but a far more vengeful, ruthless, truly subhuman reality. And I think this is a fresh, new approach to nature in fantasy. Here, it is not a companion, not an interplay of elemental forces, a system where mage can draw from, not a servant and a slave, but in some ways an enemy. I think purpose of Keyes was not grimdark, and his characters are not burned-out, dramatical, suffering heroes from their dark, tragic past, but they are also not two-dimensionals, black and white hero types. Keyes approached the chevalier novels from a different angle compared to Martin. He seeks, that those kind of persons who believes in classical values how react when their world, which based on false foundation is shaken, and how their beliefes will be changed, because this faith is based on that foundation. Most of times says that Martin's saga is like Druon's "The Cursed Kings" series, but from my point of view, Keyes's novels are more similar. So, I think this is a very good series.

Thanks for putting this together Matt. I pretty much subscribed to every person who collaborated with you, if only to ogle at their bookshelves. My biggest take home was definitely to move Malazan up higher on my TBR but I also loved hearing about a few series I've never seen mentioned before. Appreciate everyone's time and effort.

Thanks so much for including me

What an incredible video Matt! My TBR just got ridiculously large...

Matt you are maybe my fave booktuber! Every your video is joy to watch! Bright future is ahead of you!

Absolutely brilliant video, appreciate the effort in putting this together

This was amazing, Matt! And everyone! Thanks y’all! I really love a lot of fantasy series and my favorite changes all the time… but at times I can be completely honest with myself… my answer is always “The Wandering Inn”

This is awesome! thank you so much for letting me be in this video! it feels great to be in a video filled with amazing booktubers!

This is such an awesome video! Thanks for including me in it 😊

Wow great video! I found so many new to me fantasy booktubers!

The ultimate recommendation video! Thank you for asking me to be a part of this :)

Honored to be able to put in my two cents alongside such legends

I don't think you got nearly enough booktubers, Matt, there are so many more! (I'm sorry I'm a contrarian at heart and saw all these great comments I totally agree with, thanks!)

WOW ! What a collab !! Thank you so much.

Surprised I wasn’t the only giving Discworld the thumbs up and also how many people chose Faithful and the Fallen. Glad to be among so many Booktube luminaries. Thank you Matt!

It's always fun to be mentioned among all of these other awesome booktubers and people! Thanks for including me 😊

Great video! And new recommendations for me :)

Thank you for inviting me. This is an awesome video!

I love these videos Matt! Thank you!

This is awesome. Thanks 🙏

Not only does this video feature so many diverse, awesome people talking about diverse, awesome books - but one persons favourite series might be another readers least, but that’s what’s great about the community - everyone’s opinion matters:)

Matt, great video as always. I do have one gripe though. I have three favorite booktubers…it’s you, Durfee and the only one that was missing from this video Alex from ‘Tall Guy Reads’. I am hoping that he was invited but for some reason was unavailable. The three of you almost perfectly match my reading tastes and I count on you for new recommendations. It would be great if someday you guys could get together and talk about your favorites. Thanks again Matt.

This has been beautiful! So many eloquent, passionate people with awesome taste! My personal choice then would be The Fantasy Series, by All Fantasy Authors :)

Great here that there is so much variety in what was chosen- not everyone choosing the same series

Awesome video! And I discovered some new booktubers to follow :)

You really went all out reaching to every fantasy booktuber imaginable! And, considering how hard it is to choose just one series, everybody did great. Many great choices. Just grateful I don’t have to choose myself.

Amazing video, Matt! Thanks

Thanks for your hard work, Matt. You produce some of the best Booktube content yet.

Dope list..here’s mine #1. Wheel of time (far in the lead for me) #2.Stormlight Archive #3. The first law

Haha crazy that you got this many collabs for one video, congrats 👏👏

Thanks for including me, this video is epic!

Thanks for having me! Wait, i was not there. Thanks for the video!

Jay didn’t pick the Kingkiller Chronicle? Shocker

Jacqueline Carey series of books around Kushiel is one I think people should read. It’s not your typical fantasy series but it’s got a very interesting premise from the start.

loved this - so awesome

I think I'm going to have to put this video in a playlist on it's own so I can find it! There's a LOT of books, as well as channels, for me to dive into in the future.

I'm LOVING these crossovers!!!

I literally only just heard of you a few days ago, and it’s from seeing the last huge collaboration. How the fricc did I miss you all this time??

Thank you matt bro im so hyped

Love to see my boy Daniel and WoT

What a great video, thanks Matt. Hats off to @bookswithzara and @blacknbluecollarreader for picking R. Scott Bakker's amazing Second Apocalypse series, so amazing and criminally unknown. I am almost done with it and wonder of you have read it Matt? I only recently discovered your channel (which rules) but I couldn’t find any videos of yours on Bakker despite the fact you seem to have read everything.

I was happy to see "His Dark Materials" mentioned at least once here, I read it when I was quite young, maybe 13 or 14, and it may be for younger audiences, but never has a book made me feel so hollow as I did back then when I ran out of pages.

So many people said Malazan and Storm Light Archive... I need to do some shopping!

Amazing as always!

Can you do a count and post a result, like the top 5 series from here that were mentioned by maximum booktubers?

Great video Matt!

A great undiscovered sci-fi fantasy writer is Saje Williams who has written over ten plus books and my favorite book he wrote is Tales from the Magitech Lounge.
