Epic Battles and Confrontations: From grand-scale battles to tense confrontations, fantasy novels often deliver heart-pounding moments that keep readers on the edge of their seats. Take, for example, "A Wizard of Earthsea" by Ursula K. Le Guin, which depicts the eternal struggle between good and evil in a world fraught with peril. 5. Rich Mythology and Legends: Standing on the shoulders of ancient folklore and mythologies, fantasy novels draw inspiration from various cultural narratives.
