Who is the king of fantasy books in your opinion?
After recently re-watching game of thrones and getting back into fantasy i decided that I want to start reading it as well. That got me thinking.. who do people tend to see as the king of fantasy? (I say king cause im just really not a fan of women fantasy novels, im a woman and its not meant to be taken in a negative way, I just don't tend to like the way they're written.)
For being rewarded title of king it should be an author who always has great world building, great plot, great characters, someone who writes the general so well and doesn't rely on a super muscular male lead and a super dainty female heroine who is always described as breakable (sorry i just cant stand fourth wing lol)
Upon asking Google, Google said C.S Lewis is the king of fantasy but I want to know what you think!
