Enid Blyton straight into Twilight it's quite the path.

That's interesting because I think I was already sort of reading fantasy because my sister loved it so much and I was reading things like Tomorrow Appears.

So when Twilight came along, I was like, well, obviously this is what everyone should be reading because it's fun and it's, you know, a bit of romance, a bit of mythical creatures.

A bit of yearning.

A bit of yearning.

It's what we learned to yearn.

Were those the first books that taught us to yearn?

Surely not.

No, surely not.

When did The Fault in Our Stars come out?

No, that was much later.

Where did the yearning begin?

What's the appeal of YA fantasy to you?

Why do you keep coming back to it as a genre?

Does it appeal to you in a different way to adult fantasy?

Complaint of too much smart.

I mean it is something to be said about like the innocent issues and I think sometimes the stakes are a little bit more comforting in the way that they're like high but they might not be the same level of like death, destruction.

But still they can take down governments, et cetera, but it always feels a little bit safer perhaps as a read.

Is that why?

Do you agree?
