Synthesized answer
The provided passages do not contain enough information to answer the question about why these specific books are grouped as "Fantasy Firsts." The passages only list the books included in this grouping: *The Way of Kings*, *Mistborn: the Final Empire*, *Rithmatist*, and *Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians* [1].
To understand why these books are grouped as "Fantasy Firsts," one would need context regarding what "Fantasy Firsts" signifies. Specifically, information explaining the criteria for this grouping, such as whether it refers to the first fantasy books by the author, the first published in a series, or some other definition, is missing. Without this definition, it is impossible to determine the profound change in understanding that a specific piece of missing context would bring.
