Most of the time when we come across a fantasy novel, it will be part of some series. There are hardly any standalone fantasy novels written. I sometimes prefer standalone novels as these days I don't have enough time to sit and finish 8-10 books of 1200 pages each. Life has gotten so busy that... Continue Reading →
