Fantasy offers authors the opportunity to illustrate the best, worst and, most significantly, somewhere-in-between of human beings by setting them within a context that allows the reader to experience all the foibles of humanity through a more comfortable lens.
This list is intended to provide a forum for the most character-centric and thought-provoking fantasy novels. Kudos for world-building and other skills reside elsewhere.
However, if you've read a fantasy novel that made you consider who you are as a person--one that called into question or reverberated with the choices you've made in your life--in other words, a book that seemed to be about you despite its fantastic setting, please add it here.

I haven't read it, but from all I've heard about it The Hunger Games is science fiction, not fantasy. I love both genres, but this list is only for fantasy. Also a bit surprised I was the first person to vote for The Blade Itself
There's so much Harry Potter on this list, I don't think I can take any of the other suggestions seriously. The characters in that series are so stagnant and shallow it's mind-numbing. At least The Name of The Wind was on the list.
I stoutly believe that I was right in including the first Harry Potter--I never intended this list to become a recommendation for the entire series.Sorting through how this list has grown in my absence, if you like Mistborn, I strongly recommend Rothfuss (The Name of the Wind) and Hobb (Assasin's Apprentice), if you haven't found them yet.
And a lot of the other titles look interesting--can't wait to start my summer reading. Thanks, everyone, for adding your suggestions!
I love Sanderson and Rothfuss. I will definitely check out Hobb. Thank you!
Oops--dizzied by how this list has grown, I mixed up my reply. Glad you understood :)If you enjoy Assasin's Apprentice and the rest of the Farseer Trilogy, don't let yourself get bogged down in Mad Ship--skip to Tawny Man. These books are my number one overall, but that doesn't mean that every one is a masterpiece.
Enjoy--and thanks for bringing me back to this list with your comment!
