Try Percy Jackson (and any other Riordan books) or Alcatraz vs The Evil Librarians by Brandon Sanderson
How's Alcatraz vs The Evil Librarians? I am a big Brandon Sanderson fan, but haven't gotten around to reading those yet.
I haven't yet either but I've read his Cytonic stuff and while it's not young enough, it's younger. I imagine the Alcatraz one is really well done. My buddies 8 yr old read them and loved them.
Great user name btw
Thanks for the recommendation.
As for the username, thanks! And same goes to you. After creating the account, I thought "dresden" could be someone's real name, maybe I should have gone with something more obvious, like "nine_fingers", and then I saw your name. ๐
Haha. For me it was an opportunity to grab a name I couldn't before. It was either this or "The Blackthorn". I entertained "Waynes_Hat" too haha
You went with a good name, cause I don't know any Blackthorn, and the only Wayne I know, doesn't wear hats. ๐
Ooooo
You should check out Brandon Sanderson then!
Ah, Wax and Wayne!
I am a big Sanderson fan. Though, haven't read all of his work yet. In Cosmere, I haven't read the second era of the Mistborn and Rhythm of War. In non-cosmere, still have some stuff left, like Alcatraz series, Rithamist, Reckoner's series. Skyward series (though I have all the Skyward books - minus Defiant - and plan to start it soon). Just finished Tress of the Emerald Sea couple of days ago. Really interesting read, highly recommended!
Also haven't read any of his Graphics novels, or audiobooks... So much still to read!
Which one is The Blackthorn from?
I agree - he has tons to read. There was one year (2020 maybe?) where I read anything with his name on it and pretty much only that.
I just finished Tress myself! I really enjoyed it as well.
I haven't read Alcatraz or Rhytmatist. I own Wizards Guide and have ordered Yumi but haven't read either.
The Blackthorn was Dalinars nickname - Rhythm of War wasn't my favourite (Word's of Radiance for me) but it was a fun read and classic sort of Sanderson pacing. Nice developments with some of the characters and the cosmere itself.
Second Era mistborn might be my favourite series he has written. Wayne is my absolute favourite. If you get a chance, the graphic audio books are really good.
Skyward and Reconers are good. Written for a younger crowd but lots of fun and interesting ideas in there.
It was! How did I forget that. I didn't read Rhythm of War as I wanted to re-read the whole series before the 5th book, so going to do that next year.
That's awesome - that's also my plan for 2024. I'm reading SA before SA5 comes out too. Have fun!
