Early classic high fantasy of derring-do and sensational adventures by young Sir Ralph, admired by folks like Wells, Lewis, and Tolkien, it is nonetheless massive. Taking my time!

Ich lese gerade Melodie der Asche von Elya Adair und der Prolog lässt schon tief blicken. Vielleicht ist es mir schon ein bisschen zu tief für einen Einstieg? :blobsweats:
Auch die Kapitelzierden verraten schon das ein oder andere.👀#Lesen #HighFantasy #mmromance

Fantasy with Friends: Low or High Fantasy?
Briana and Krysta at Pages Unbound are hosting a fantasy discussion meme this year called Fantasy with Friends. Since fantasy is my favorite genre, I thought it would be fun to take part. This week, their question is:
Do you prefer low or high fantasy? Or both?
As a longtime fantasy reader I have certainly read both, but high fantasy will always hold my heart. I love being swept away on an epic adventure through a world that may or may not resemble anything I recognize at all. Part of the fun of fantasy is getting to explore a completely new and unique world.
Low fantasy does sometimes find a spot in my reading life. It often feels simpler and easier on my brain, so I like using it, as well as a couple of other genres, as something of a palate cleanser. I love the way high fantasy makes me think fast just to keep up, but sometimes it gets a little heavy book after book after book. Sometimes life just gets too messy and heavy. So I turn to low fantasy for the simplicity I find in the worlds. There are fewer rules to remember, and so much more is familiar so it’s easy to put them aside until they pop back up instead of having to store that information in a spot in my mind. I think it also allows readers to really focus on things like character development, the emotions, and the plot because the world building isn’t so massive.
But my favorite thing about fantasy is the world building. To me, any story can be nested in fantasy. A romance, a mystery, an adventure, academia. Anything. Fantasy, to me, is all about the world and the unexplained. It’s the strange worlds, the strange creatures, the magic, the weird. While low fantasy can certainly have all of that, I just happen to have a greater appreciation for those authors who build worlds from the ground up. I’ve been writing fantasy worlds since I was 10 (technically 8, but that was co-written), so I understand what a massive undertaking it is and just how much work goes into creating a working world. So that’s a big part of the reason why I love high fantasy.
I also just love the idea of stepping into the unknown. I love discovering something new, and high fantasy usually gives me that more than low fantasy. I love the feeling of feeling completely lost in a new world, because, very often, as I keep going, it suddenly starts to make sense and that’s just the most incredible feeling to me. I think that’s why I loved The Mask of Mirrors by M.A. Carrick so much. It was sometimes overwhelming, but, halfway through, things just started clicking, and nothing can take that excitement and sheer joy from me. It’s what makes high fantasy so incredible to me.
Then there’s just the sense of being swept off my feet into an extraordinary adventure, whether it takes me out into the wider world or confines me to a specific location. I find there’s something exciting about maybe finding a familiar story nested in a unique world or finding the adventure of a lifetime in a place I never thought could exist. I love how things can be bent and broken and somehow make sense. I do not like when things bend and break for the sake of the story, but, when it just works, it feels like magic all on its own.
And, at nearly 40 years old, I still find myself waiting to come into my powers or finding a portal that will take me elsewhere, so I consider high fantasy to be an acceptable way of doing what I’ve always dreamed of.

Wie sattelfest bist du bei #Fantasygenres? Ich muss zugeben, dass ich da manchmal auch nicht weiß, wo da die Grenzen sind. In diesem Blogbeitrag habe ich mich daher nochmal mit den Genres beschäftigt und eine nicht ganz ernst gemeinte Kategorisierung angestellt. Viel Spaß beim Lesen ;).

Fantasy Genres – die ultimative Erklärung
Fantasy Genres bringen mich ehrlich gesagt auch immer wieder ins Schleudern. Neben den bekannten Genres wie "High Fantasy" und "Dark Fantasy" existieren eine Reihe weiterer Subgenres, deren Bedeutung sich nicht unbedingt von selbst erschließt. Und ja, auch Autor:innen sind manchmal verunsichert. Deshalb habe ich heute eine nicht ganz ernst gemeinte Kategorisierung erstellt - viel Spaß ;).
