I mean, one of my favourite books, The Amulet of Samarkand, is a fantasy, but the focus is more on politics and power plays between people than it is on the actual magic stuff. I'd really recommend it if you like fiction about people.Nisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02134954614122167115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2263295136331930331.post-4450579316574662892011-05-14T06:30:51.548+05:302011-05-14T06:30:51.548+05:30I've stepped out of my comfort zone and have r...I've stepped out of my comfort zone and have read some really good fantasy/paranormals.

There are exceptions though, if one considers Twilight or Harry Potter to be in those categories.
