BOOKNEST FANTASY AWARD 2016 - WINNER

Update: This was the first time we hosted our annual BookNest Fantasy Awards. Back then, we only had one category, the “Best Fantasy Novel”. Since that year, BookNest is hosting 4 different award categories, namely the “Best Traditionally Published Novel”, “Best Self-Published Novel”, “Best Debut Novel”, and “Best Imprint". The awards take place in 3 different stages (The nomination stage in which hundreds of books are nominated by popular blogs and big fantasy Imprints, the Longlists and the Shortlists). The winners are awarded engraved swords.
