Fantasy novels are a genre of fiction that often take place in imaginary worlds filled with magic, mythical creatures, and epic adventures. These stories typically feature heroes and villains, quests, and battles between good and evil. Popular elements include dragons, wizards, and enchanted forests, which help create a sense of wonder and escapism for readers. Many fantasy novels draw inspiration from folklore, mythology, and ancient legends, allowing authors to build rich, immersive settings. Notable examples of this genre include J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" and J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" series, both of which have captivated audiences worldwide.
