It takes a lot more work to create a world out of nothing than using an existing place.Diana Hurwitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18216220574149672733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-63193391004697600992018-09-27T05:52:00.489-06:002018-09-27T05:52:00.489-06:00Worldbuilding requires vivid imagination to create...Worldbuilding requires vivid imagination to create and a generous smattering of realism to make it understandable and believable. Touchstones (those bits of realism) in fantasy transport one to the book's locales and shape unique visuals that allow the reader to step into a scene, see the action, root for the protagonist, and despise the antagonist. S.K. Randolph introduced me to fantasy a few years ago with the opening book of her Unfolding Trilogy, The DiMensioner's Revenge. Since then, she has published the second and third books in the trilogy, added several shorts, and written other works that round out the series and leave the reader well acquainted with its memorable characters. I doff my hat to fantasy writers such as Adeyemi and Randolph, whose unique creative abilities take readers to imaginary places that spring to life with often alien beings who leave an indelible impression on the reader's mind and heart.Linda Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06686488133905538811noreply@blogger.com
