Do you prefer reading standalone fantasy books or series?

Luvenia Winters

Oh boy, do I have an answer for you! As an avid reader and fantasy enthusiast, I can confidently say that I love both standalone fantasy books and series. It's like asking me to choose between pizza and ice cream – I just can't! Let me break it down for you.

Standalone fantasy books are like a quick and satisfying treat for me. I can dive into a new world, meet characters, go on adventures, and all in one neat package. It's like going on a road trip for the day – you can pack in a lot of sightseeing and fun without having to worry about accommodations or planning for tomorrow. The best standalone fantasy books are ones that can immerse you in their world with just a few pages and make you feel like you went on a grand adventure.

On the other hand, fantasy series are like a marathon for me. I love the feeling of being able to dive deep into a world and stay there for a while. I get to see characters grow, learn about the lore and magic of the world, and go on multiple adventures. It's like going on a backpacking trip – you get to see a lot of the world but you have to put in some effort and time to get the full experience. The best fantasy series are ones that can keep you hooked for multiple books and make you invested in the characters' journeys.

Both standalone fantasy books and series have their pros and cons. Standalone books are great for when you want a quick escape and don't have a lot of time, while series are better for when you want to fully immerse yourself in a world and have a lot of time to spare. It all depends on my mood and how much time I have on my hands.

But let's be real here, who doesn't love a good series? The more books, the merrier! It's like being able to spend time with characters that you love and see them grow and change over the course of multiple adventures. Plus, if the world-building is good, you never want to leave.

So, to answer your question, I can't choose between standalone fantasy books and series. They both have their place in my heart and on my bookshelf. It's like asking me to choose between my favorite books – impossible!
