Haha I would love my own ginormous library lol I'm not Puck or Skye, but I've read some of the ones that Skye has and here's some of the ones that I've read and like: -Throne or Glass Series -A Court of Thornes and Roses Series -Six of Crows Duology Like, but not as much as the ones above, still worth mentioning though: -Grisha Trilogy -Red Queen Series aghh I'm forgetting some. When I remember I'll add to this. |

ok ok ok ok so Anything by Brandon Mull is really good if you like worldbuilding, he has some incredible magic/world/plots, but you do have to get over his writing style a little bit and if you read Fablehaven, just skip the first book. All the excitement starts in the second book. (You can read the first one later, but if you start with it you tend to lose interest) I also just finished the Timekeeper series by Tara Sim, it's a steampunk story that discusses British colonialism and is basically a bunch of cities being held captive by clocktowers. Super imaginative, super fun. If you like steampunk, the Leviathan trilogy by Scott Westerfield is incredible. He also wrote the Zeroes trilogy, which is a fun read (honestly, the first book is an incredible standalone, the next two are..... fine.), that one is more contemporary fantasy (basically our world now, but everybody born in the year 2000 has superpowers).
If you like superhero stories, I also recommend Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson. It's about supervillains. Also, Skyward by Brandon Sanderson, though it's a scifi. Anything he wrote, basically.
Maggie Stiefvater is queen of fantasy stories. She has a way of making the real world seem like magic could be possible. I absolutely adore everything she's ever written. Another good series is Septimus Heap. It's for little kids (oh, so is Fablehaven) but it's really quirky and enjoyable. |

A personal library is every book persons dream. I love Sanderson's work on Mistborn. Will definitely try his other work out. Does anyone have experience with the Stormlight Archives by him? I hear its good. As for the other suggestions; I will buy them all when I'm rich LOL |

Totally off topic. But what mythical creatures do you think gets neglected the most. |

I've been wading through Goodreads for a good hour, but oh the struggle to find a GOOD fantasy with sturdy world building and *original* concepts! (Please say I'm not the only one who feels like all YA-type fantasy is just a regurgitation Of The Same plot and themes. It's so infuriating, I can't stress it enough: get yourself an original plot, peeps.) --mini-rant over-- I'm getting sidetracked though. I'm looking for book recommendations! Reading level: I honestly don't care. All I'm looking for at this point is an original plot, rounded characters, and actual freaking WORLDBUILDING. Genre: Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Futuristic. Any of the above. General plotline and/or books similar: As stated above, well-rounded characters and fairly original plot lines are key. Oh, and preferably not set in the US, though this isn't a deal breaker (That ain't the only country that can be used for sci-fi , Collins.) |
