Cut Lilith's Brood by Octavia E. Butler because it is neither fantasy nor published in the 90's. It is late 80's sci-fi.
Yeah and The Dragon Reborn by Robert Jordan has (if you count to the end of reading not the glossary) there are 674 pages not 624 but a lot of books are like that on this site so who cares. And I guess Robert Jordan was lucky, He got The Eye of the World done and marketed in 1990 at exact, Not to mention November of 1990, He has The Dark Ones Luck, Just kidding.
PILLARS OF THE EARTH is not fantasy, it's historical fiction.
What is The Hobbit doing in here? It was published in 1937...
The Hobbit and A Storm of Swords deleted (not 90s).
I deleted Artemis Fowl because it was published in 2001.
I'm seeing a LOT of books on this list that are from the 80s, not the 90s. I don't have time to delete them right now, but the glaringly obvious ones are the early DragonLance books, early David Eddings and Tad Williams books, and possibly a few others.
The following books don't belong in this list, as they were not published in the 1990s:
Peter F. Hamilton's The Reality Dysfunction should probably not be on this list - it's science fiction/space opera, not fantasy.
J. V. Jones-The Baker's Boy should have been included
I deleted The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King because they were not originally published in the 1990s. Please stop adding them.
