We've all read that book. The one where we go "I love this, but" -- and that "but" ruins the entire thing for us. So what if we could find books like the ones we love, without the "but" involved?
Here, get some input from others on what books they think are better reads than your almost-favorites. Let us know what you're looking for:
- Standalone or series
- Genre
- What you liked
- What you disliked
- What you're looking for (themes, etc.)
An example post:
It's been a few years since I read them, but as a young teen, I liked the Ranger's Apprentice series (at least, the first three books). I loved the way the characters developed naturally and the down-to-earth seriousness. But the worldbuilding isn't that great in the earlier books -- I heard it gets a lot better in later books, but my other big problem is the writing style. It's so blocky and impassable for me.
So I'm looking for a book (either standalone or series is alright), in any genre, with the same well-developed characters, with a better writing style. A theme of struggling to prove yourself would be a bonus, without it being a cheesy "Token Character defies Outrageous Stereotype" (girls are weak, etc. etc.) kind of story.
Anyone have a book for me?
