Ranking of 2016’s Best Fantasy and Science Fiction Books
This is our fourth year reviewing and writing about everything that’s related to fantasy and science fiction. It's been a slower year of reading for me, that's due to spending time acquiring the skills to make a significant career change and getting myself situated in my own personal life. It's been a difficult year to say the least, but personally 2017 is looking up.
As the primary book reader at ATG Reviews, I wish I could have read everything I wanted to, but alas time isn’t unlimited. Nevertheless I took up as many reading projects as I could manage – both classics and newer books. Our Top 10 List was made using the following guidelines:
- Books must be related in some way to the genres of fantasy and science fiction.
- Books must have a word count longer than 40,000 (So no novellas, short stories or anthologies).
- Books must have been published for the first time in 2016 (Sorry classic SFF books and translations).
- Books that are published from the same series in the same year are limited only to the best book in that series.
Don’t agree with our list, feel free to list your favorite fantasy and science fiction books of 2016 in the comments below.
