Sci-fi and fantasy books are a favorite among readers of all ages, and many fans of these genres appreciate books that blend the aspects of each story to create something new. It makes sense that they would overlap, as they both belong to the overarching niche of speculative fiction. Writers behind sci-fi and fantasy works ask themselves what their imagined world would look like if they pushed the boundaries of reality. The reason many readers turn to novels of this type is to escape the mundanity of the every day and to reflect on the larger problems of the world.
