Mine is the wings of fire series, it is a “kids” novel (think like warrior cats age range)

But Tui T sutherland is so good at writing characters and introducing and describing worlds and characters that i reread it every so often. Like, she managed to write a book from the pov of a mind reader and it works.

Every book is from a different character’s pov and each character feels wholly unique.

The main issue with the series is that the plot is kinda average at best, the characters really carry the story.

    We are Legion (We are Bob). It’s probably the most fun I’ve had reading science fiction. It’s not a masterpiece, but damn is it entertaining! The whole series is pretty great, and there’s another book coming any month now.

      In a similar vein I’m really enjoying the Murderbot series by Martha Wells. It has a similar feel and it has an addictive action pace with snippets of deadpan humor and wit. If it was a movie it would be a popcorn muncher.

    Oh man, that’s a lot of what I read.

    Maybe the ‘My Teacher Is An Alien’ series by Bruce Coville, the ‘Blood Oath’ series by Christopher Farnsworth, and the Serpentwar Series by Raymond Feist.

    I liked the Dresden Files. Just campy magic gumshoe stuff.

    Also a fan of Lamb and Blood Sucking Fiends. Good reads, but not any big huge life shaking moments like other books. But I remember loving the style.

      I was going to offer another Jim Butcher series, the Codex Alera. It’s a hack-and-slash mix of Roman fantasy and Pokemon. Fantastic stuff.
