It is difficult for me to stomach Amazon’s classification of ‘Fantasy’, especially when it comes to this Top 5 Seller list. These are all (with the exception of Clemens’s book, which I am unfamiliar with) better classified as Urban Fantasy, and should not be compared or live in the same category as the Epic Fantasy/Tolkien-derived genre.
