Inheritance cycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This may help, though it seems the title is still not set in stone; and there's to be a fourth (at least) book now....

No movies on the other books so far, though...

Well there are dozens of suggestions here in the YA forum.

But off the top of my head, some authors you might like to look out for:

Susan Cooper
O. R. Melling
Catherine Fisher
Betsy James
Marcus Sedgwick
Chris Wooding

And two very fine writers, who post regularly on these very forums, Mark Robson and Mary Hoffman.

Don't forget Sherwood Smith. There's the Wren series and then Crown Duel as well as Inda and The Fox.

• Philip Pullman
• Garth Nix
• Eoin Colfer

etc, etc - really, the list is endless....

I would also highly recommend Alan Garner's books:

Elidor
The Weirdstone of Brisingamen
The Moon of Gomrath
The Owl Service

as well as several books by George MacDonald, such as:

The Princess and the Goblin
The Princess and Curdie
At the Back of the North Wind
The Flight of the Shadow
and collections of his fairy tales....

As for book reviews, etc., I'll have to have a bit more time to track those down....

 

[Teresa Edgerton]

The Weirdstone of Brisingamen
The Moon of Gomrath
The Owl Service

Those are very good books, too.

I recently reread The Princess and Curdie, which I didn't much care for the first time around, in my late teens or early twenties. And I was surprised at how beautifully written it is.

 

[j d worthington]

Yes, MacDonald is one that I didn't discover until I was in my mid- or late-twenties (save for an early exposure to a fairy-tale or two), and was quite taken with....

The final book in Cornelia Funke's trilogy is Inkdeath and it is due out in Spring next year. Am waiting for it too.

How come you didnt recommend Pullman's Dark Materials ? Its one of the best YA according to many YA fans.
Anything against it Teresa,JD,Nessie ?


I recommend it if you want a YA thats alittle different. Sure its only the third YA series i have read buts its very good.

Lian Hearn's Otori Tales is also very good if you dont have anything YA story set in Japan in Samurai times.

 

[Teresa Edgerton]

As I said, Connovar, I was naming authors who immediately came to mind. I'm not a big fan of His Dark Materials. It simply didn't draw me in as compared to some of the other authors I've mentioned, although I've enjoyed some of Pullman's other books -- which are either for younger readers, or not SFF.

Its one of the best YA according to many YA fans.

And I'll leave it to them to recommend it.

There's also Lloyd Alexander's Prydain Chronicles. See here for the books and a rather neat website.

Which of those authors you mentioned do you like most?

Except Susan Cooper, i already have book of her and plan to read her anyway.

I want to catch up to YA fantasy and see what i like and not like.

You know of YA stories alittle like Hearn's series? A little different YA world.

 

[Teresa Edgerton]

I don't really like making comparisons between favorite writers, Connovar; they all have different strengths.

But because the author is a recent discovery, and because you are looking for something a little different, I'll suggest that you might look up the books of Catherine Fisher. I was especially impressed by her three-part series The Oracle, The Archon, and The Scarab (These are the British titles, since I assume you get your English-language books from UK sources; the American editions have slightly different titles.) The setting is an interesting combination of ancient Greek and Egyptian cultures, and the characters are, I think, very well-drawn.

 

[j d worthington]

As for me, though I have Pullman's books, I've not yet read them (they're somewhere in my TBR pile of about 700-1000 books.....

I dont compare authors either but there are always some you like more than others. That why i asked which one you liked most.


Thanks the setting sounds very interesting. Heh this make me remember an old thread somewhere in the chronicles where i read people talking about which gender the authors they read are. I remember seeing many interesting posts from you. The last months people have recommend and i have read many good female authors. It makes me feel better that my authors arent 99% male but more like 70-30 now.

Sorry for off topic but i just remembered that thread cause of Catherine Fisher.
