The Odyssey. Beowulf. The Epic of Gilgamesh. Throw them all in the trash, those fantasy stories are old as dirt. It’s a new century, and with that comes a fresh crop of fantasy books destined to become timeless classics. While the 21st century still has 75 odd years to add new contenders to the pile, these novels are shaping up to be the very best of the modern era. Eat your heart out, Homer. Ancient Babylonian scribes and Viking mead hall singers, you guys can do the same.
