Fantasy

11 stories

Invented worlds, and a set of rules the story holds itself to. Much of the pleasure is discovery: a magic system that turns out to have a price, a map with somewhere on it nobody goes. Length varies wildly, from tight standalones to shelves that take a year.

What you're in for

  • ·Expect the first fifty pages to spend time on the world. Most fantasy front-loads.
  • ·Check the length before you start. This runs from 300-page standalones to ten-book sagas.
  • ·A good one makes the magic cost something. When it solves problems for free, the tension leaks out.
