Genre: Fantasy - Fantasy is speculative fiction set in a fictional universe, often without any locations, events, or people referencing the real world. Fantasy is distinguished from science fiction and horror by the absence of scientific or macabre themes. Currently, fantasy seems to focus on medieval formats. Most fantasy uses magic or other supernatural elements as a main plot element, theme, or setting. Magical creatures are common in many of these worlds. Many fantasy authors use real-world folklore and mythology as inspiration
A partial reading list includes: Jen Pierce Mysteries, Liaden Universe novels including the Agent of Change Sequence, and The Great Migration sequence. Her latest works include: Alliance of Equals, The Gathering Edge, and Neogenesis.
