Reviews of Mythopoeic Award Winners
This is a list of Mythopoeic
Award winners for fantasy novel (adult fantasy novel in the years when a
distinction has been made), including ratings for those books that I've
read and links to reviews where I've written one. The Mythopoeic Fantasy
Award for Adult Literature is given to the fantasy novel, multi-volume, or
single-author story collection for adults published during the previous
year that best exemplifies "the spirit of the Inklings" (C.S. Lewis,
J.R.R. Tolkien, and friends).
