About this list
Dragons, vampires, and demons abound in this year's fantasy picks, but it was the human tales of adventure, intrigue, and even failure that won us over. Two beloved series concluded this year in epic fashion, while others proved they're just getting started. Whether the stakes are high or low, these performances shined particularly bright in a year awash with stellar fantasy listens.-
