Low fantasy is a subgenre of fantasy literature that takes place in a world very similar to our own, where magical elements are either minimal or subtly integrated into the story. Unlike high fantasy, which features entirely fictional worlds with complex magic systems, low fantasy often focuses on realistic settings and characters, making the magical aspects feel more grounded and relatable. In low fantasy, the presence of magic may be limited to specific characters or events, often leading to a sense of mystery or wonder. Examples of low fantasy include works like George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" and Neil Gaiman's "American Gods", where the fantastical elements coexist with the mundane aspects of everyday life.
