Fantasy


 * When people think 'fantasy', they tend to think magic. True, there are a lot of titles in this list that contain magic of sorts, but remember that the fantasy genre is a very broad one. Expect to find stories set in alternate worlds or realities, characters with special powers or skills, the supernatural, the unexplainable, and a lot of adventurous quests.**
