Fantasy literature has dominated bookshelves and bestseller lists for decades. The ultimate sort of escapism, it allows the reader to truly immerse themselves in a world that does not exist. Even the stories that are set in the Earth that we all know-like urban or low fantasy-give us an extra hint of magic in what can otherwise be a sometimes mundane day to day experience.
Ode to the Greats
With such a heavily amassed following, it’s difficult not to give credit to the fantasy literature genre for helping to keep the written word alive. The genre has been gifted by the likes of J.R.R. Tolkien, Ursula LeGuin and Terry Pratchet, and their voices have been passed down through the years, now gifting the reading world with the likes of Sarah J. Mass, Neil Gaiman, and Cassandra Clare. We’re a lucky generation of bookworms.
