"These are the truly great fantasy series written in the last 50 years." And yet the Lord of the Rings somehow made the cut...it was published more than 60 years ago...but I guess math isn't a big deed at Buzzfeed.

And the Chronicles of Narnia is even older than LOTR. The Once and Future King was published in 1958. The Gormenghast books were published between 1949 and 1956.
Some of it leaves me cold, too, Fred. I read one Sanderson and wasn't charmed. Never read Jordan or Feist. On the other hand, I enjoyed Scott Lynch's books, and also THE NAME OF THE WIND. Haven't read Rothfuss' second book, however.

Maybe someone will point that out to them in the comments.
Remind me again why this modern stuff leaves me cold . . .
Jordan, Feist, Sanderson . . . er never mind.
