I am not a big fantasy novel reader, but to move things along I will use my two remaining nominations to put a couple more into the final list.

Mistborn, because I like the concept of a hero failing.

The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms because it is available as an ebook through my local library system. I hope that even though its is the first in a series it can alone be read without a lot of unanswered questions and a hanging plot.
