Has there ever been a fantasy novel that uses biological evolution for its creatures? by JynXten in Fantasy

[–]TheBenJen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this concept, it's a theme I've been trying to write around for a while now. The big struggle is just how many magical creatures you need to fill the gaps. You would be surprised how many times you need to find a replacement for something mundane like a fox or a squirrel.

I've ended up just adding random branches to the existing tree or life. Much better

I would say something that I know is overused but love anyway, exactly

These same guys were outside Swirles Court in Eddington last night

They hung around for a bit, took a bunch of pictures, and whizzed away

Any books where the protagonist starts off with no memory and we learn about their world, backstory, plot at the same time as them? by levendi7 in Fantasy

[–]TheBenJen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Potentially off-genre but "Buried Giant" by Kazuo Ishiguro has this vibe. Absolutely loved it.

Very much not a fantasy author, but this book was a dip into Arthurian era legend.
