Top 20 Fantasy Series to Escape Into Another World
From the way fantasy books go about capturing the imagination, they are able to whisk readers off to lands, into enchanted forests, or mystical realms where the laws of reality do not apply. It transports us out of the bounds of everyday life into worlds where anything can happen where dragons soar across the sky, magic runs rampant and ordinary characters find destiny’s chosen line waiting for greatness. Truly, the fantasy genre is huge and has something for everybody-from grand adventure and deep world-building to heart-stopping action and roundly developed characters.
It boasts a large number of such series, and each of them usually runs into hundreds, if not thousands, of pages, tightly woven through intricate plots and manifold characters. So, there are the epics that would appeal to such beings-the Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien or A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin. To discover far greater worlds just as much as discovering characters goes towards doing that as one goes through them-all these are some expansive tales. Prophecies have already been the setting for battles between good and evil, as between evil and evil, and these books are a plunge for high fantasy reading.
