While I was looking on the web for my list of 2011 novels of interest in the fantasy field, my next question came upon me. First of all, as you will see in the list I will post soon, 2011 could be one of the greatest year in fantasy (mostly in the epic sub-genre) since a while. My interrogation is a simple one, among the bigger guns, some of them are almost a myth already, which one is the book you are looking forward more than the others?
Which novel are your most eager to read in 2011?
- A Dance With Dragons - George R.R. Martin
- The Heroes - Joe Abercrombie
- The Crippled God - Steven Erikson
- The Wise Man's Fear - Patrick Rothfuss
- The Republic of Thieves - Scott Lynch
- Not in the list
Ok, I didn't include some great upcoming novels like The Book of Transformation by Mark Charan Newton, The Cold Commands by Richard Morgan, The White Luck Warrior - R. Scott Bakker or The Dragon's Path by Daniel Abraham since they seem (my interpretation) to be less mighty in term of eagerness. Also, I removed A Memory of Light by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson since it's now almost officially set for a March 2012 release date.
My choice was really a tough one. A Dance with Dragons is something almost unreal and the expectations will be almost impossible to attain. But then, since I think the Malazan series is my favorite, I will go with The Crippled God. I ache to know how this will all come together for what I hope will be an unbelievable final convergence.
So what's yours? (more so if it's not on the list!)

From that list, A Dance with Dragons and The Heroes is what I am most looking forward to reading. They'll jump to the top of my to read list as soon as I can get my hands on them. Other than that I don't know too much about what to expect from 2011. I still have so much from 2010 I still need to read.
The Wise Man's Fear would be my #1, a little nervous though I read somewhere online from someone who had an early copy that it was good but had a glacial pace...
I'm equally excited for Wise Man's Fear and The Republic of Thieves.
Dance with Dragons as well.
I am most excited for "The Crippled God". This year I've read three great Malazan books (DoD, RotCG and Sw), so I can't wait to see it all converge!
Definitely The Crippled God for me - great series and can't wait for the conclusion
The Crippled God is the most popular so far. I though more readers were avid for A Dance with Dragons. Maybe it's not the first choice since it's not a certain 2011 release and has been postpone for so long...
