The first one. I dont really remember much about the 2nd one. I need to read them all and just read them all in a row. Once I get my current home TBR stack under control I’m going to branch out more with library books.

I would recommend reading the Spooks series next by joseph delaney. Very similiar but darker.

I meant that I just read all the books in a row. It was one of the few series where I wanted to keep reading rather than getting tired after a couple of books.

@Alex I know what you mean, John Flanagan is that good that a reader can’t stop reading

U know what, no one within my friend circle knows about it! But this is the most underrated YA fantasy novel. I fell in love after reading the first book!

MartheQuestion author

I totally agree with you Norton it is, by the way who is your favorite character?

0
Norton

Definitely Halt and Horace. *Spoilers*
I love the fact that Horace hated Will so much and eventually became best buddies. And Halt, as mysterious as ever, makes him even more interesting !

MartheQuestion author

I like Erak, but you have a lot good point and the fact that this too are married to to nc pepoli (trying not to spoil anything) I also like Gilan

Lea

@Norton May I ask why you consider this a fantasy series? I write fantasy and am interested in your answer.

1
MartheQuestion author

I consider it an awesome fantasy series, but it has some elements of real life as well in form of the government and people’s status and some of the weapon as well, but over all its fantasy series

0
Lea

@Marthe Do the wargols make it fantasy? Or something else? For example, the fact that it’s set in a non-existent country?

0
MartheQuestion author

@Lea all that mak it fantasy yes and the Wargols are scary, but the most scary is the Karlak

0
Alex

I think of this series as fantasy “light” or “diet fantasy”. There are almost no magic or supernatural elements past the first two books of the main series and the Early Years books.

This is not saying that it’s a bad thing. I think I enjoyed it because of it.

1
Lea

Thanks, folks! I write low fantasy (as opposed to high fantasy), so this is encouraging. 😀

0
Norton

@Lea for me, probably something in relation to medieval or ancient history. Something to do with knights, magician, thieves, and that sort. In this book, there’s nothing on magician, mostly medieval elements in it. I think i consider them a fantasy i guess…

1
Lea

@Norton Thank you!

1
MartheQuestion author

@Lea good luck writing. Hope your book becomes amazing (if you are writing a book)

1
Lea

@Marthe Thank you! I have 8 out and am working on a slightly different kind of book now. No magic, just a mythical creature. Looks like it’s still fantasy! ?

1
MartheQuestion author

@Lea cool sounds awesome =D I have only one completed book a badly written crime novel from seventh grade. but fantasy is the best and mythical creature are so interesting and amazing some of thm are petty scary

1
Lea

@Marthe My earliest writing sample is beyond atrocious! But if you want to write, a quote that’s helped me is that, “Great books aren’t written; they’re revised.” ? My current works are more fun than scary. I grew up on fun books. ?

1
MartheQuestion author

@Lea I grew up on fun books to and some scary ones ? of the books gave me nightmares and to this day I can not read it unfortunately I don’t remember the title and I do not have the book ?

0
Lea

@Marthe Wow! That’s some thorough suppression! Maybe if you stumble across it as an adult it won’t be so bad? ?

1
MartheQuestion author

@Lea I hope so I am 26 now and my favorite fantasy is Ranger’s Apprentice, Lord of the ring and Harry Potter ?

1
Lea

@Marthe Sounds like you might enjoy Adventurers Wanted!

1
MartheQuestion author

@Lea Yes I am and I like adventurer book, but haven’t heard of Adventurers Wanted, is that a fantasy book series?

1
Lea

@Marthe Absolutely. The main character is walking by a store one day and sees a sign that says, “Adventurers wanted.” But not everyone can see that sign. 😀 And the fun begins!

MartheQuestion author

@Lea cool search it on eBay and gus I am going to by that now the more fantasy the better
