oh man i totally forgot about the warrior cats books. the power of three series was my favorite and right around where i stopped. i got impatient waiting for new ones to be released, because i like to shotgun series all in one go. i also liked the few books of the bear series i read by the same author. edit: *takes look at author's website and finds out they did a dog series as well* oh geez guess i gotta go read some kid books
power of three as in the series in warrior cats. they would do 6 books following certain cats and the next series would be 6 more books usually following cats from the next generation. also i just remebered darren shan and all his books and wow i guess i read a lot more age appropriate stuff than i remembered last night (discluding darren shan's adult books that i also read after i was done with his teen stuff).
yeah, that happened! I never saw it either. I saw someone mention Enchanted Forest Chronicles, yes good. That and anything by Tamora Pierce were my FAVORITES as a kid.
Ah, man, The Power of Three was when I stopped reading, I think. Mostly because it became a pain to keep up with all the books, lol. Dude, though, it was so hilarious when the series before The Power of Three (I think) came out because, if I remember right, that's when the anti-StarClan/cat hell became official? And the RP guild I was part of had used Cat Hell as a thing for like... almost a year beforehand. And the name we used was pretty similar to what actually got used It was SUCH a cool moment of "HAH WE CALLED IT!!" and I remember there were some people that were all ":oo what if Erin Hunter is reading our guild posts?!" (which was silly in hindsight, but still amusing. In hindsight it was just a very obvious name, lol.)
i always thought it was awesome how a group of six ladies with really diverse backgrounds all got together and wrote under one name. especially since it brought about such a cool series.
Darren Shan was my jam! I read all the fourteen, I think, books and loved them until the ending. I hated that gdamn ending. Put me right off them, and I never read them again, ecen though I was still rereading books back then. These days I hardly have the time to read books once, let alone twice.
Thank you so much for this I have been freaking out trying to find it. I read so much of these as a kid but now I can barely remember them.
i read one goosebumps book, once, and i couldn't sleep for weeks i have/used to have absolutely no tolerance for horror, ever, of any kind
Allow me to take thirty seconds to remind people that Animorphs already has its own thread, please revitalize that rather than discussing it here. THAT SAID, guys, Deltora is still technically ongoing! The current series is called Star of Deltora or something like and is apparently only being published in Australia or something? But I have an Aussie friend on plurk who talks about it regularly. Does anyone else remember the one with the tiny dragons made out of clay that did the Toy Story Thing where they appeared inanimate in front of people who didn't believe in them? Fireheart I think was the name of the first one? I keep meaning to grab those all from the library at some point and actually find out what went down rather than disjointedly reading the first and third books out of order because they had dragons on the cover.
i remember those! i don't remember the name of the first book but yeah, it was something like fireheart (though looking on the googles doesn't turn up anything like i remember, just some warrior cats stuff, a sci fi book of the same name, & an erotica novel again of the same name). huh maybe i misremembered. there was something with dragon's tears & the fire within, right? fake edit: as i typed that i remembered! the first book is called "the fire within"! real edit: i stopped reading after the one in the arctic ("the one in the arctic" by which i mean the fire eternal) & now i'm refreshing with the wikipedia summaries & man, that series was weeeeeird after the first one. wtf.
I was close! And they really appealed to me as a Thing because I was one of those kids who wanted Tiny Magical Pets that I could Take With Me Everywhere, rather than being like. A kid who wanted a unicorn or a full sized dragon or something. Like yes those are nice. But they take up a lot of space and eat a lot and tiny Nai knew they were impractical. And I always had a thing for sleeve critters? Still do, really.
Oh yeah! The Fire Within was super good, and ngl I had tiny dragon figurines at that point in time and I liked to pretend that they were secretly real dragons. But, yeah, man. After the first book it did get super weird and I never finished the series. I think the author misunderstood what it was that made the books enjoyable, which was tiny dragon shenanigans.
Yeah, that's why the only one I read the whole way through, multiple times, was the first one. my friend had tiny dragons everywhere, I totally pretended they were real.
I vaguely recall a plot point about the guy being frozen in an iceberg? Like that was literally a thing that happened, I think? I don't even KNOW, man. Though Weird Plot Elements are not a thing that turns me off easily so. shrug. I remember having wanted the next one after the third.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Dragon_Chronicles here's the wikipedia page with all the summaries. some of it is just. wild. there's aliens? i think? what at the time i really enjoyed the books, but looking back now i'm honestly just confused. i suddenly start to understand why i enjoy & make weird stories though, looking at the things i read as a kid
