When it comes to urban fantasy novels, the ideal length can vary depending on various factors. However, there are some general guidelines that can help determine the suitable length for an urban fantasy novel. The length of a novel is usually measured in word count, and urban fantasy novels typically fall under the broader category of fantasy fiction. Fantasy novels, including urban fantasy, tend to be longer compared to other genres due to the extensive world-building and intricate plots involved. On average, urban fantasy novels range from 80,000 to 120,000 words. This word count allows for a sufficient exploration of the fantastical elements of the urban setting, the development of complex characters, and the weaving of intense plotlines. It's important to note that this range is not set in stone and there can be exceptions on both ends. Some urban fantasy novels may be shorter, around 60,000 words, particularly if they are part of a series where shorter individual books are preferred. On the other hand, certain authors may write urban fantasy novels that exceed 120,000 words, providing readers with a more expansive and immersive experience. When determining the length of an urban fantasy novel, it's essential to consider the pacing and engagement of the story. It should be long enough to fully explore the urban fantasy elements and provide a satisfying reading experience, but not excessively long that it becomes tedious for readers. If you're looking for recommendations in the urban fantasy genre, here are a few popular novels: 1. "Storm Front" by Jim Butcher (The Dresden Files series) 2. "City of Bones" by Cassandra Clare (The Mortal Instruments series) 3. "Moon Called" by Patricia Briggs (Mercy Thompson series) 4. "Neverwhere" by Neil Gaiman 5. "A Discovery of Witches" by Deborah Harkness (All Souls Trilogy) Additionally, websites like Goodreads and BookBub can provide comprehensive lists and reviews of urban fantasy novels, allowing you to explore a wide range of options and discover new authors and titles. Remember, the length of an urban fantasy novel should ultimately serve the story and provide readers with an enchanting journey through a captivating urban landscape.
The destiny of civilization, destruction and resurrection, an endless cycle enveloped by darkness, amidst boundless ruins, only one person walks alone.
