Well, for me, I think it's one of the Georgette Heyer's book, Devil's Cub. It's a romance book and it belongs to my grandmother. I remember, reading it when I was a little girl and trying so hard to understand the words. When I asked my grandmother, "what does this means?", she instantly took it out of my hand. And I was so stumped that I cried out loud. But, when I was approaching my teen years, she gave it to me as "the first step that will lead me to the youth world". And, since then, I can't stop reading historical romance!

| QUOTE (soumyee29 @ Sep 12 2008, 01:44 AM) | Pellinor Series
Has anyone read this series by Alison Croggon? It's an extremely well-narrated story of the classic gemstone-hidden-in-a-coal-mine girl, who's the amazing heroine, and who braves adversities to save the world! The plot is corny, I know, but the writing style is unique, and brings the characters and events alive!!
I've read that book, and found the story-telling better than any other fantasy book, including Harry Potter series... It's packed with humor, romance, inner conflicts, bravery-in-adversity and all that classic stuff to make a good read!
Check it out! Especially the third book in the series! |
The Pellinor series wins for me as well.  To add to soumyee29's description, it's your general, run-of-the-mill fantasy/adventure with a new age twist on classic magic, great character development, lovable characters, and a very scary bad guy to defeat... and time is running out! Well anyway, I recommend the series. It starts a little slow, but once you get going, you'll be hooked. Croggin has an engaging writing style. Oh, and the third book, the Crow, is probably the slowest and spends most of its time talking about the life of the protagonist's brother. If you have already read Croggin and are looking for other books that are similar, you might also like the Guardian Cycle series by Julia Gray (which actually contains a very neat idea and explanation for supernatural events that I can't say I've seen before) and the Abhorsen trilogy by Garth Nix (although I read Lirael first by accident and went backwards... It turns out you can do that if you prefer, as Sabriel is about the mother of the main character in the last two books and therefore largely a separate "back story." Knowing that now, I wouldn't have read it differently.). If you can recommend a new series for me that's similar to these, pm me. I'm looking for new reads.
