During this busy week, I was thinking about why I love the Fantasy Genre so much. I feel like we need it. In the real world, sometimes we’re not brave, strong, or beautiful. Sometimes we feel alone or beaten down by life, or that the happy ending is never going to happen.
In the real world, there is no Fairy Godmother to intervene if life isn’t going our way. Reading is a temporary break from the battle. In fiction, a happy ending reminds us that if real-life times are tough, they can get better.
I’m wishing for ALL the happy endings.
In Forgotten Rebellion, I wrote Princess Tahlea making a heartbreaking choice. She was faced with giving up the man she loved in order to save her kingdom.
