Ooh cool topic!

So, personally, I really like fantasies that have underlying messages that are left for the reader to do with as they interpret it. For example, LoTR does a good job with this. (Although I admit, you do have to do a lot of slogging through pages of Hobbits just wandering around to get to those underlying things.)

I have also always been attracted to myths legends and ancient cultures, so that’s probably why I really appreciate worldbuilding in fantasy books. (I read the Silmarillion…and really liked it. So, that just gives you an idea of what I mean by I really like worldbuilding haha.) I find stories within stories or written songs within stories especially fun. The Wingfeather Saga did a nice job with this.

That’s all I can think of off the top of my head. 🙂
