One popular dark fantasy adult novel is 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series by George R. R. Martin. It has complex characters, political intrigue, and a dark, gritty world filled with magic and danger. Another is 'The First Law' trilogy by Joe Abercrombie. It presents a cynical view of the fantasy world with morally grey characters. And 'The Lies of Locke Lamora' by Scott Lynch is also great. It has a con - man protagonist in a vivid and somewhat dark city - based fantasy setting.
Well, regular fantasy novels usually present a more straightforward and often more idealized view of the world. They tend to have a clear distinction between good and evil. However, dark fantasy adult novels break those boundaries. They may explore the psychological aspects of characters more deeply. In terms of plot, dark fantasy often has a more convoluted and less predictable storyline. For instance, in a regular fantasy, the hero might be on a quest to save the princess and defeat the evil sorcerer. In dark fantasy, the hero might be the one causing chaos and the real motives are much more complex. Additionally, the tone of dark fantasy is generally more somber and bleak, with less hope and more of a sense of impending doom.
Well, 'Twilight' is quite popular. It tells a love story between a human girl and a vampire. The story has a lot of drama and a unique take on vampire lore.

Some of the popular adult fantasy novels in 2019 might include 'The Priory of the Orange Tree' by Samantha Shannon. It has a richly detailed world with complex characters and a unique magic system.
One of the top 10 might be 'The Name of the Wind' by Patrick Rothfuss. It tells the story of Kvothe, a young man with a mysterious past and great magical abilities. 'American Gods' by Neil Gaiman is also a great pick. It combines modern America with ancient mythologies in a very unique way. 'Good Omens' by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman is a humorous take on the end of the world and the battle between good and evil in a fantasy setting.
One important thing in reviewing adult fantasy novels is the magic system. How well - defined and unique is it? In Brandon Sanderson's 'Mistborn' series, the magic system is very detailed and interesting. It has rules and limitations that add depth to the story. Additionally, consider the relationships between the characters. Are they believable? Romantic relationships, friendships, and rivalries all contribute to the overall story. And don't forget about the cover and title. They can sometimes give a hint about what to expect from the book, but they can also be misleading.
The length of adult fantasy novels in 2019 was all over the place. It could be anywhere from a concise 200 pages to a hefty 1000-plus pages, depending on various factors like the author's vision and the demands of the plot.
Well, 'Annihilation' by Jeff VanderMeer is among the top dark fantasy novels. It's a really strange and eerie story set in a mysterious and dangerous area known as Area X. 'The Dark Tower' series by Stephen King is also a classic in the genre. It's a long and complex journey through a dark and magical world. And 'The Graveyard Book' by Neil Gaiman is a dark yet charming tale about a boy raised in a graveyard, with elements of the supernatural.
