Are You a Noblebright or Grimdark Fantasy Reader?

I love fantasy, but it isn’t just one genre. Which I’m sure you’ve noticed!

It’s a spectrum of light and shadow, hope and despair, heroes and survivors. From no magic to amazing powers, and from urban or real-world settings to whole new fantasy kingdoms, fantasy novels span a breadth of characteristics that can leave you wondering where a book will take you.

More than that, some stories leave you be
