Welcome to the first episode of a new series on the channel called Subgenres EXPLAINED! Today I'm going to dive into Portal Fantasy and discuss it's history as well as give some examples of the best books the genre has to offer (and some lesser known ones as well). Fantasy books can immersive you in magical worlds of wonder... but what if you were literally transported to a fantasy realm? Whether it's The Chronicles of Narnia, Harry potter, Coraline, Neverwhere, Alice in Wonderland, I'm here to discuss it all with you!
