About this episode
Did Luke ever mention he's pretty into fantasy novels?
But what about you? If you're yet to discover the magic of the genre, here are some titles Luke reckons are the perfect places to start. They dispel common myths, answer common criticisms, they might reassure you that fantasy isn't too different from what you're reading already - and above all, they're just good books!
Do you agree with these picks? What have you recommended as a first fantasy for your friends? What got you into fantasy?
