“The Name of the Wind” by Patrick Rothfuss

“The Redemption of Althalus” by David & Leigh Eddings
Rating: 0/3. Skip it, even if you’re in the target market (young adult). Pick up just about anything by Rowling, Tolkien, LeGuin, or McKillip instead.
“Otherland” tetralogy by Tad Williams
Rating: 3/3. This ~3000 page read is an incredible ride from start to finish. Williams paints vivid pictures and creates the most varied, believable, and engaging cast of characters I’ve read about in a long time. It’s combination of fantasy and sci-fi elements is genius. I highly recommend this series.
