The identifying traits of fantasy are the inclusion of fantastic elements in a self-coherent (internally consistent) setting, where inspiration from mythology and folklore remains a consistent theme. Within such a structure, any location of the fantastical element is possible: it may be hidden in, or leak into the apparently real world setting, it may draw the characters into a world with such elements, or it may occur entirely in a fantasy world setting, where such elements are part of the world. Essentially, fantasy follows rules of its own making, allowing magic and other fantastic devices to be used and still be internally cohesive.
Some of the reviews for my debut novel The Summoner includes such comments as:
This is a fantastic fantasy novel that grabbed me from the first page! I loved it!
As I started reading this book it became clear that this was a fantasy story reminiscent of my childhood favorites.
Randy Massey is a first time author who possesses a wonderful gift, the gift of storytelling. The Summoner is a tale of majestic proportions.
This is a very exciting and interesting story. It ranks as one of the best of the fantasy genre. Right from the beginning it grabs you and doesn't let go until you are done. Another five star read.
On Goodreads it was voted (and has maintained) #1 out of over 500 fantasy books worth a read! You can find the link here:
