Hey, love modern fantasy fiction? Me too, but guess what, fantasy fiction didn’t begin in 2023. What we have today owes so much to the fantasy writers who went before. They dreamt up fantastic worlds and even more fantastic characters before anyone knew it would have such a wide appeal.
In this blog, we're diving into the world of classic fantasy fiction. We'll introduce you to legendary heroes and heroines, not forgetting downright dastardly villains. No, it wasn’t all about rings and short people.
We're talking about authors like Terry Brooks, Raymond E. Feist, and Piers Anthony – the OGs of fantasy writing. We'll explore the trends and tropes of the era, from big hair to big swords, and everything in between. And who knows, you might just discover a new favourite author or series while you're here.
Posts will be weekly, between 600 and 1,000 words. Your feedback is welcome, and we’re expecting many energetic debates.
So, what are you waiting for? Let's get down with some classic fantasy fiction.
