Fantasy
Chapter 1: Many of the highest-selling novels of all time are fantasy. So, why is fantasy so popular? Who is reading it? And who is writing it?
Chapter 2: Astrid enters the 'Grishaverse' and explores the diversity in the 'Shadow and Bone' series from Leigh Bardugo.
Chapter 3: Jamila admits to reading a fantasy book - 'The Once and Future Witches' by Alix E. Harrow - and liking it.
Recommendations: Astrid returns to old favourites - Jessica Townsend's 'Nevermoor Chronicles' for middle grade readers, the 'Shadow and Bone' series for the YA audience, and N. K. Jemisin for readers of world class adult fantasy. Jamila makes the case for the enduring relevance of the Harry Potter universe (despite, ahem, J. K. Rowling herself).
