[–]SugarRAM 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (1 child), I would highly recommend The Magicians by Lev Grossman. I second the Inheritance Cycle. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban The third book of the series is truly the best of the books, despite being shorter than the later ones and early into the series run. I recently lost my 23 year old cat to cancer. The ridiculous list of awards Philip Pullman has won with that series- to say nothing of his being President of the Society of Authors- is testament to that fact. It's vastly different in tone from Harry Potter, but I really really love the worldbuilding, and the main characters just shine. Did the students from East and West Germany get along? The other equally or even more important reason behind the success of the series, and perhaps the reason it's so enjoyable to return to even when you're older, is that I feel like the characters were a sincere labor of love. Depending on how old you are, I would suggest The Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind. I have just finished reading harry potter and they were fab! Take-away #2: You could skip every book and just read the part at the end where Dumbledore appears and reiterates everything that had happened over the previous pages. The books felt so immersive and really pulled on my emotions, there were characters that I hated and others I loved and it was just a great experience. IMO the series has held up very, very well, and it will absolutely be one of the first books I will be introducing to my own kids when they grow up. His Dark Materials is the definitive YA series. I think the series as a whole gets worse in quality in the second half, to be honest, though I think HBP is really strong individually. It is such an underrated series! Order of the Phoenix: A classic least-favorite. In spite of all the terrible things that have happened and are happening in this book, it happens to be the most comedic. HelpBooks to read after Harry Potter (self.harrypotter). The world of Harry Potter is supposed to a bit silly and full of wonder - it is after all a children's/YA series - and it is this that makes people want to live in it. That's the oil that keeps the gears running smoothly, the magic ingredient that turns plot into story (I'm referring to a distinction made by Stephen King in his book On Writing where he says that story is superior to plot and cites the Harry Potter series as an example of books that are "all story"). Although I'm sad there are no more harry potter books but hey, these books sound great! A pretty suitable end for the series, but parts of it feel rushed or "first draft-ish", and I'm not going to lie, the horcruxes seemed way too easy to find, all things considered. This book honestly felt like the same Harry Potter book as the first two, but 100 pages too long and nowhere near as well thought out. I liked Power of Three for its atmosphere, and the interlocking patterns of threes in the story. Yesssssss. Meanwhile, Sadie has been li… Snape's memory. Completely agree.
