If you consider yourself a fantasy nerd, i think it is imperative that robert jordan's wheel of time series is #1 on the list. He picked up the baton for fantasy in the 90s and ran away with it.


The first tree he passed had leaves of a brownish tint, as if something had fouled the air around it. He began to count the leaves that had turned completely black laying on the ground. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.....534, 535, 536. 536 black leaves. But what was the meaning and how did these leaves get here? Perhaps he ought to count the amount of branches to better discern the danger that lie ahead...etc

The second tree had leaves that were slightly browner. He could sense the evil creeping ever closer. He should count the black leaves to make sure. 1, 2, 3, 4...
