It’s a selfish month here at Fully Booked, because we’re talking about one of our favourites: Young Adult Fantasy. Throughout the month of May, we’ll be talking about the genre that keeps on giving. Arguably one of the most popular-at least according to the world of social media-YA fantasy continues to dominate bookshelves across the world. We’re tackling themes, popularity, and some lesser known adaptations to expand your horizons and hopefully continue your love of the young adult fantasy universe.
One thing that is undeniable about YA fantasy is its popularity, which appears to be on a never ending upswing. From lengthy bestselling series to screen adaptations popping up regularly, this is the genre that never dies. But what is it that makes young adult fantasy so beloved by the reading community as a whole? Is it the characters, storylines, or stakes that make these stories so intriguing to readers of all ages. This week, join us for a chat about what makes YA fantasy the giant that it is, and why we think that’s not going to end any time soon.
