SPFBO Champion's League Winner Announced

The Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (SPFBO) creator and organizer Mark Lawrence announced the winner of the SPFBO Champions League December 30. M. L. Wang's brilliant The Sword of Kaigen emerged victorious.

The Champions' League consisted of the contests ten winners from 2015-2025. In contrast to a typical year's Blog-Off, books did not receive individual scores. Instead, after reading and reviewing the books, judges simply need to compile an ordered list ranking the titles from 1-10. In the end The Sword of Kaigen topped four of the ten judge's lists and placed second on three more lists. The lowest any judge ranked The Sword of Kaigen was fourth out of ten.

For those of you wishing to follow along SPFBO 11 is already underway. You can follow read about Phase 1 here at Mark Lawrence's Blog.
