Urban fantasy novels are fantastic with their plot locations making them seem all the more real. With all the magical action happening in a real urban city, or in a densely packed city that seems extremely familiar to readers’ own. They totally make is easier to imagine a dragon swooping right over the roof of your house.
Unfortunately, that was only an airplane.
