Genre of the Month: High Fantasy

Hello, Friends!

This month's genre is High fantasy. High fantasy takes place in a world completely unrelated to our own, with no access to our world. This is unlike portal fantasy in that portal fantasy contains portals to completely different worlds.

Some books I have read that are high fantasy are: Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Cycle, The Hobbit, and The Enchanted Forest Chronicles (which I post about here.)

Christopher Paolini's Alagaesia is full of elves, dwarves, dragons, humans, well known fantasy creatures, as well as creatures he made up, like urgals.

Middle-earth is J.R.R Tolkien's amazing fantasy world, while the world in which The Enchanted Forest Chronicles take place is never named.

To learn more about types of fantasy, read Erin's post about fantasy here.

What books have you read that are high fantasy?
