What's your favorite book that you wouldnt say is a masterpiece? - eviltoast

Mine is the wings of fire series, it is a “kids” novel (think like warrior cats age range)

But Tui T sutherland is so good at writing characters and introducing and describing worlds and characters that i reread it every so often. Like, she managed to write a book from the pov of a mind reader and it works.

Every book is from a different character’s pov and each character feels wholly unique.

The main issue with the series is that the plot is kinda average at best, the characters really carry the story.

    Villains by Necessity by Eve Forward. After the ultimate triumph of good over evil, a group of villains save the world from good. It’s a total inversion of the standard fantasy trope. Highly recommend it for any fantasy fan, doubly so for Dragonlance fans.

      Welp, I’m sold, this is totally going on my list! I’ve kind of been itching for something like Dragonlance and this sounds like what I’ve been looking for.

      Orconomics (Dark Profit Saga, Trilogy) for the exact same reason!
