Definition: Adventure stories
The Adventure sub-genre consists of books where the protagonist goes on an epic journey, either personally or geographically. Often the protagonist has a mission and faces many obstacles in his way. This sub-genre often pairs with the 'Action' genre since long epic journeys often involve a lot of action, but it can be combined with almost any other sub-genre.
