Not only in how the story progresses but how it gets told. I like inventiveness - new ideas on old subjects. I like it when it's a system of magic and races that have not been discussed before. I also like it when the line between fantasy and reality is blurred. By that I mean that even the ones with special powers are still human. Even the strange creatures are the things we encounter here in reality in a more symbolic sense. We all face ogres and elves in our lives. We all feel empowered by something and we all feel endangered by other things. A good fantasy is based in reality!

No matter whether it is good or evil. I also like the fantastic beings: elves, dragons, unicorns and the like. I guess I still want to believe in them and fantasy novels do that for me.
