Hey!
I've been trying to
think of a way to split up the fantasy section so I think I'm just
going to go for it and talk about some of my favourite aspects of the
fantasy genre!
I love this genre
because its soooooooooooooo massive and can have so many different
supernatural and paranormal aspects into it. So I will get over the
first classic fantasy type novels and those are vampire, I went
through the twilight phase. Yes I read it and I didn't mind it its
quite a nice series and it reminds me of my youth, even though I'm
not that old
I went through a
wide range of books after twilight and I went through that after
twilight phase of fantasy, such as the Evernight series by Claudia Gray this has a really interesting take on vampires and vampire hunters plus a little ghosty which is one of
the reasons why I liked it. I also read some of the series by Alyson
Noel such as the Immortal Series, talking about immortally and the price that comes with that and the Soul Seeker series this is about a girl who discovers something isn't right when she sees and does things that are out of this world!. The
obvious after twilight book for me was the Mortal Instruments by
Cassandra Clare who also has a lot of the supernatural aspects in it.

I like these
supernatural aspects because its something different and there is so
many different variations which can particularly seen with vampires
and is such a classic genre on itself. I haven't read a lot of some
of the fantasy genres on there own such as werewolves and fairies but
I have read technically my first alien book! Woo me!
I love the variety
of it, a series I read called the Shadow Falls series by C.C Hunter I
liked because it had a bit of everything and was in such a unique
camp setting, vampires, werewolves, witch/warlock, shapeshifters and
fae. But I also like the high adventure type fantasy novels, some of
my favorites that I would call fantasy are C.S Lewis's Chronicles of
Narnia, based on the creation and adventures people take when they get whisked away to Naria and the Dark Materials trilogy by Phillip Pullman, follows a couple of different parallel universes, a great adventure series. They have
such an old school vibe and have such awesome characters plus the
story and the concept are really deep and actually have a meaning for
me plus can be read at any age.

The thing I like is
it creates a new world and I think that's where fantasy loses people
because you have to get through that first book, its so important if
you want to get into fantasy and give it a good go then you have to
stick with it because fantasy is all about building, its about
building that world and you will thank the author later for having
such a clear awesome system to that world!

I am reading a
fantasy series at the moment its called the Sword of Truth series by
Terry Goodkind, its not for a younger audience as it does have some
graphic aspects to it and I think that's what puts people off about
the series but I like it however its hard to get into. If you look at
goodreads about this series it has terrible reviews and I think that's just because people get different things from it, its not my favorite series sure but its not that bad.
Fantasy is such a
big umbrella and a lot of the time you just have to feel your way
around it, I believe its a ever changing genre and its always fun to
read
Hope that gives you
a little inside info on some aspects of fantasy and paranormal that I
like and some of the series that I have read.
I hope you are doing
well and have a great day
Peace : )
