A Quote by Rick Riordan

As a mortal, I was never a great fighter or athlete or poet. I only made wine. The people in my village laughed at me. They said I would never amount to anything. Look at me now. Sometimes small things can become very large indeed.

For the sake of fantasy purity, the top 100 fantasy listens include the best audio works in all manner of fantasy subgenres.
