Subgenuri fantasy

Genul fantasy a devenit foarte popular in ultimii ani fapt care a dus la diversificarea lui pana intr-acolo incat sub aceasi umbrela gasim romane foarte diferite unele de altele. In urma unei discutii in care incercam sa compar o serie cu alta, m-am gandit ca nu ar fi rau sa caut si sa postez o lista a subgenurilor fantasy pentru a putea defini mai usor diferitele carti care fac subiectul acestui blog. Nu exista o clasificare general acceptata asa ca am  creatlista de mai jos in functie de parerile care mi s-au parut cele mai avizate. Bineinteles, aproape toate romanele fantasy pot fi incadrate in doua sau mai multe dintre subgenurile de mai jos.
