Fun Fantasy Writing Prompts
As a writer and an editor, I've always drawn to books of writing prompts. I'm more of a romance girl, but I've been known to dabble with a little fantasy now and then. I found this particular book of fantasy promises to be fun, and even as I was just reading through the book so I could write this review, it certainly did get my mind churning with the possibilities of characters, plot, and worlds. I love it when a writing book inspires me like that.
As the title states, this book has 500 writing prompts. They're divided into five categories: myth & legend/fairy tale, epic, modern, and general fantasy as well as a final chapter on fantasy title writing prompts. Within the categories, the author offers two distinct types of prompts, a straight-up writing prompt where you're given a character or two and a conflict and story starters, which are good first or second lines of a fantasy story. The final category of book titles is intended to spur your imagination as well, but I didn't find them nearly so intriguing.
So many fantasy categories exist. Among those that you can see at Amazon include coming of age, dark fantasy, historical, metaphysical, military, paranormal, superhero, urban fantasy, and sword & sorcery. In the modern fantasy chapter, the author did give paranormal and urban fantasy prompts, but I would have loved to have seen more the types of fantasy represented, even if it were less than the lovely around numbers of 100 and 50 per category. The author did state that she tried to separate things out, but she found it difficult because a fantasy story can have elements of multiple fantasy subgenres. I do understand that, but she still could have had a category just for that, maybe like fantasy subgenre mash-up or multi-genre prompts. All in all, though, I thought this was a fun book of writing prompts. If you write fantasy or you want to, you may very well enjoy this book.
I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.

Decent Inspiration
The prompts included offer a good jumping off point to start writing a short story or developing a larger idea of your own. Some of them seem almost generated, as in they seem almost random and poorly put-together. The titles section almost seems AI-generated and almost bizarre.
I suppose one of my biggest gripes about books on Kindle Unlimited is the lack of editing and proofreading. I found several typos while attempting to get through these prompts and find a few I could use for some writing exercises.
