The Hunger Games series is(to me) an in between genre. The fantasy is in the world setting, that could be us some day. In reality it is just another version of the old gladiatorial type setting.
Jesus Christ there sure are a lot of repeats on here. I counted three versions of A Game of Thrones.
Good list! Wish I had most of those on my shelves right now at home.

Love seeing so many votes for The Name of the Wind 😊
