QOTD: Do you have a favourite trope or sub genre of fantasy? 

I think that I've come to the decision that high fantasy is definitely a favourite sub genre for me.

I'm all about a long journey/quest, the battle between good and evil, detailed world building (this is a must for me), magic systems and magical creatures. 

Magician by Raymond E Feist is really delivering on this so far and I'm excited to keep annotating this one. It's in the running for a favourite book of mine and I feel I will pick up books 2&3 very soon afterwards. 

Raymond definitely up there with the likes of Brandon Sanderson, George R. R Martin and Michael J Sullivan in terms of favourite authors.

I've definitely been on a high fantasy hype as I also read Crystal Shard last month which is a book from the Dungeons and Dragons universe. I was in such a reading slump in January and February so who knew all I needed was my favourite genre to get me back on track.

Feist was my inspiration to become a writer. Love his storytelling and world building. I’m glad you’re enjoying it!

Feist is an absolute favourite of mine, and probably largely responsible for my love of the fantasy genre 🙌🏻
