Mythic fantasy · Urban fantasy

How we choose booksNotice which traditions and figures the story borrows, then check the profile for the tone of the challenge. Playful familiarity and outright mockery can feel very different. Choose by your interest in the mythic material and the kind of disrespect you enjoy.
Humor is personal. Our labels describe supported traits, not a promise that every reader will find the same things funny. How we classify books.
