Fantasy Fiction
Fantasy novels feature magic or myth
prominently, showing a struggle between
good and evil. The
characters often go on a quest, experience a coming-of-age,
or travel to an
alternate world. Fantasy starts slow while setting the scene,
but
picks up speed later as the adventure begins. Fantasy novels may be
light or dark and are frequently part of a series.
