I like fantasy books
but the only ones I know are kids books
does this mean fantasy books are for kids?

Mythology, legends, religion, all just fantasy when you get down to it. Fiction. Meant to enjoy, not taken too seriously. But who wants to be serious all the time?

What would make a fantasy not for kids?
I want to say sex drugs and violence, but I have deep memories of a fantasy book tackling each of those concepts as a young kid and those where what was in the schools library.

Is Morrowind a kids game? It has a Teen rating so it would be played by kids, but that game tackled slavery and drug addiction.

Fantasy is just universal and is really good at masking it's gritty elements behind fantasy flair.
It's not meth it's warmweed. He didn't die he was banished to the shadow realm.
It gives it an ageless quality.

Of course there are ones specifically not for kids, but most are universal. Actually I doubt that any fantasy is written with actual children and not young adults in mind.

I mean, you could always read the weeb fantasys too. Webnovels and what not.

>>	Anonymous Fri Apr 24 07:14:48 2020 No.15182080 >>15179876 Yes. If you want the grown up version, read myths, they have actual substance.

That jews are subhumans who'd sell their brothers as slaves for a sack of shekels? If anything the bible bolstered my anti-Semitism.
