High fantasy – magic (Wheel of Time)
low fantasy – little to no magic (Game of Thrones)
Urban can be high or low. (Dresden is like high urban fantasy, while vampire stories are low urban fantasies.)
At least that is my understanding of it.

If we get tired of the books we use to read its time to find a new one – or if you are like me – its time to make a new one. https://tablo.io/ristina/beyond-that-elusive-place
