Hi, fellow book readers! I’m a writer to-be who is writing a fantasy novel.
So my question is: what would you like to see more and less in a fantasy novel? Storylines that excite you or bore you? Character developments that would be unexpected or something that’s traditional is still hot? More smut or less smut?
Any ideas are welcome ♥️
Ps. Although reading latest fantasy books myself, I wanted to hear from “professionals”: who read it for fun and not analysing every sentence like me 😅 aka actually feeling it end enjoying it.
I would like to see more depth. For example: Use of fantasy novel to explore political and philophical ideas relevant to the modern world.
Le Guin was a master of this. But there was a scarcity of this done in non-cringe manner.
I’ll have a bit of it. Have you read Ayn Rand? I think you’d like her work
