Also, with fantasy and sci-fi, tough issues can be tackled with a "safe" filter on them (good, evil, murder, betrayal, etc) that makes it easier to process for a lot of people than straight-up contemporary and gritty real-life novels. And those things are just COOLER in a sci-fi/fantasy setting. ;o)Carol Riggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14092209912983783974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7030453069845909403.post-12907547847402315842018-02-12T11:20:33.979+11:002018-02-12T11:20:33.979+11:00Yep, I love a good escapist adventure too.
