Book Riot's 20 Must-Read Feel-Good Fantasies

"Sometimes orcs, goblins, and the sinister plotting of wizards can't give you the escapist endorphin release you need. You may need something a little lighter or with a happy ending—and maybe a little romance, too.
The following feel-good fantasy books run the gamut of sub-genres, center different kinds of characters, and take diverging, pleasant paths. Some are whimsical. Others are wild. And some are just guaranteed to make you giggle. But they'll all leave you with a smile after the last page."
