How we scored them

The Shelf Score weighs fit for the reader, contents and edition, value, and the listed reading age or level. None of the four picks lists a reading age or grade level. How we pick explains the weights.

Scores run from 9.2 to 9.8: each book’s point total is placed on that range, so more points always means a higher score. Reading age or level counts on a list where at least one listing gives one, and a book whose listing gives none then scores zero on it. Where no listing gives one, the score is taken over the other 85 points. Books carry no warranty, so warranty is not scored.

How to choose the best fantasy series in amazon prime

Start at Book 1 when you can

Awakening is Book 1 of 5: the cleanest entry point. A Scar in the Bone is Book 2 of 3, so begin with A Fire in the Sky. Thunder in Gunder is Book 5 of 20, for readers already following the Dragon Wars. For more dragon stories, see our best fantasy series with dragons.

Check the length and format

The Jordan listing states 360 pages; the Buroker bundle holds Books 1-5 in one listing, which suits readers who dislike waiting for the next volume. The deluxe limited edition is tied to the first printing. For sagas with a clear end, browse our best fantasy series that are completed.

Before you buy

• Check the series position and buy Book 1 first: Awakening is Book 1 of 5; A Scar in the Bone is Book 2 of 3.
• Confirm the format: the Buroker listing is a complete bundle of Books 1-5, not one volume.
• Compare publication dates: the Kerns and Halloran listings date from 2018 and 2020, so check whether each series is finished.
