Best Long Science Fiction & Fantasy Series (13 books)

For the purposes of this list, I'm going to say a long series is one that totals 2,000+ pages.

Supernatural horror is fine to add as well.

Please only include the first book in the series. For series where publication order differs from chronological order, I'll leave it up to the voter's judgment which book should be added to the list.
