Mark Lawrence has posted the ten Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off 2017 finalists. SPFBO began with a 300-book longlist, and every finalist was the top pick out of 30 reviewed by the bloggers named in parentheses.

• Crimson Queen by Alec Hutson (Fantasy Book Critic)
• The War of Undoing by Alex Perry (Pornokitsch)
• Where Loyalties Lie by Rob J. Hayes (Fantasy Book Review)
• Sufficiently Advanced Magic by Andrew Rowe (Bookworm Blues)

• The Way into Chaos by Harry Connolly (Ventureadlaxre)
• Tiger Lily by K. Bird Lincoln (Qwillery)
• Chaos Trims My Beard by Brett Herman (Fantasy-Faction)
