What happened to fantasy novels





    Don’t get me wrong. I love fantasy. I loved Lord of the Rings. Adored the His Dark Materials Trilogy They true masterpieces regardless of what certain people’s certain point of views are. I even like the Harry Potter series thou I  felt it was a bit over rated. But I also feel books like the Golden Compass and Harry Potter are really only  winners because ninety percent of the rest of the fantasy out there seems to be Lord of the Rings knock offs and I’ve read so many of those when I was younger that I could pretty much throw up if I read another one.

    Where has originality went ? Why is it always in medieval times. Why do they only have swords? And why is the man character always a elf, dwarf, hobbit, witch, or some beautiful helpless princess or heroic prince/ soldier?

    I really don’t mean to insult any fans, but Eragon is the greatest example of mediocre genre fantasy to be on the face of the earth. I could predict every thing that they were going to say or do before it even happened. A(And that the story  seemed to be awfully similar to Star Wars didn’t help either0

    

    What I do love are stories that are different than what we’re used to. I love stories that make you have the characters and become sock when they get hurt or cry when they die.  (I believe every body remembers the moment when  Fred Weasely died) The only books that really did this for me were.



Harry potter series

The his Dark Materials Trilogy

East

The Looking Glass Wars

Septemus Heap



So what append to Fantasy. I’m not sure, but if some knows, please tell me?

About the Author

Hi I'm Samie Foster and as far as interest go, I just love to write You could say 'm a been eccentric about it. I've been writing since I was ten years old, but just now found a way to publish my work with having to spend thousands of dollars per book. I also am a complete book worm, it somewhat started to the ocassional insomia that I have. I love movies, and probally can tell you the biography of any currently rising independent filmmaker. Don't ask why. I'm just weird that way. And your probally going this person sounds odd but hey, my friends say that I'm odd, so I'm used to it. But my friends also say that I will make it on New York Times Bestseller someday I really not sure if that ill ever happen, but it would be nice. But will tell you one thing I love. I love sucess stories of one individual making something out of their self, like the story of Starbucks, or these current independent film makers who have worked their way up from nothing. I just hate the idea of all these big people stepping on the little guy. I guess that is what giving so much hope and determination with my books
