There were some fabulous answers as to why people love reading fantasy! The magic (of course!), the kick-butt characters and the fight scenes, the freedom from limitations and the pure escapism of it all, and so much more. 
I have to confess that I found it extremely difficult to choose a winner. I ummed and ahhed for a very long time before picking … drum roll … Amanda — who loves the magic and the quests and the fight scenes — and Joss Whedon and Georgette Heyer!
Thank you everyone for your comments, it was lovely having the chance to meet and chat with you. I wish you all teetering piles of fantasy novels to read and enjoy!
Amanda, you need to email Emily to collect you copy of The Sentinel Mage.
