The 15 MOST Successful Fantasy Books Ever Written

After much research and going down the rabbit hole of trying to get accurate data, here is a list of the top 15 best selling fantasy books (including adult, middle grade and YA), those books that sold millions of copies. I guess I always knew which books were massive book phenomena, but I was very surprised about how many books some of the authors sold! I tried to extract data directly from Goodreads to check how many of these books were being read through the different years, but they closed the developers API, and I could not access it! If for some reason you have access to their API key from before, please contact me!! Let me know what your opinion is about the role of the media in publishing!
