I am returning with my new feature... Why I love which takes place on Wednesdays. Today's proclamation of love concerns our Favorite Settings in Books
Why I Love...Well-Developed Settings
Ohhhh...this is such a difficult question to answer. I've previously discussed how much I love books set during WWII but this time around, I'm going to be a big more...vague. I love well-developed settings in books. I think I'm kind of cheating (and kind of not) but I really don't have a strong preference of a particular time or place that a novel is set. But I do care whether the setting is believable and well-developed. I never like a feeling where I feel like something is out of place or I want the author to "tell me more!!"
It doesn't matter if the author slowly unveils the a world and the reader learns bits and pieces about the setting over time. I don't mind if an author creates a setting that I would not personally want to be in similar to the dystopian settings found in Divergent and The Hunger Games. All that truly matters is that an author creates a world/setting that I can envision clearly. Some books are set in magical worlds and give me the loveliness that is Hogwarts, but others give me contemporary cities or small towns. I love them all if, AND ONLY IF, I can properly envision and connect with the world in which I am placed as a reader. No guessing. No confusion. No inconsistencies.
Now that I've sufficiently sort of, kind of dodged this question (though I answered it truthfully)...Tell me...
