Why is fantasy so popular?
The YA fantasy genre has exploded in the past decade, while realistic “problem” novels, once the staple of YA, have faded into the background.
Is a young British wizard responsible? Are young readers, living in such serious and scary times, eager to escape into a fantastic other world? Or is fantasy just more fun to read?

Fantasy is very popular because it's like playing out a story. The games don't tend to be challenging, but instead offer very immersive worlds with highly developed plots and characters, stunning graphics, and tons of secrets and hidden sidequests that expand on the appeal of an already solid main storyline. You love the good guys and hate and fear the bad guys. The gameplay is innovative, and because each new game brings a new world with new characters, you don't get tired of the same things over and over again.
