Several fantasy books radiate excellence from the opening scenes of their respective narratives. Fantasy novels do not always begin with compelling sequences they might end up being excellent narratives, but their beginning is slower. Some fantasy novels fail to pick up the pace until a good chunk of the story is over. However, some of the best fantasy books from the last 10 years need the space to establish the story before things get interesting. That is often the case, especially in multi-genre stories, encompassing books that blend fantasy and horror.
