Recommend me some popular modern genre fiction. All I really know about are ASOFAI and YA trash like Harry Potter and Hunger Games.

Comic Fantasy should include the Xanth series by Piers Anthony

I don't see Daughter of the Empire trilogy, cowritten by Raymond E. Feist, that should make the list.
Dragon Prince series is really good, I would also include Melanie Rawn's "Ruins of Ambrai", even though the trilogy isn't finished.

Tolkien should obviously be put in list.

Darkangel Trilogy, by Meredith Ann Pierce should be included.

Enough with the charts. Let’s stop being lazy and actually recommend something.
>>13013084
Read Grimm’s Fairy Tales, you may have heard of the stories, but actually read them as they were released originally.

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 27 02:30:06 2019 No.13013299 >all these people missing the word MODERN in the OP I guess I should have specified within like the last decade. I know that AGoT came out in the 90s, but a lot of the series came out within the last decade plus is still being made.

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 27 03:08:35 2019 No.13013377 >>13013372 First book is. The later books are definitely YA tho.

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 27 03:10:56 2019 No.13013386 >>13013114 the wheel of time series is 5 times too long and its honestly just a pretty generic fantasy story with a vastly over-complicated plot

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 27 09:41:22 2019 No.13014364 >>13013551 I would guess modern can be counted as 90 to now. But normally modern should be 1900+, maybe with industrialisation 1850+.
