Mr Shroom Well deserved too.

Lee Ditto, Mr! Only I’d add “Theft of Swords” and “Age of Myth” to this list, too, if I was the one at Novel Notions. Congrats, Michael!

Kurt How is this a list of the "10 Fantasy Picks for January - June 2021" when there are releases from 1987, 1999, 2013... dates not in 2021? Who cares when this particular read the books, at least change the list name to "My 10 Fantasy Picks" (recently read)

Lisa Dugan Congratulations 🎈 A well deserved recognition, plus several others that should be there. But if he’s just starting w Crown Tower, there should be a lot more of your books in his lists moving forward!🥰
