Question

good books for age 12 to 15???

need to read!

Answer 1

I recently read and enjoyed Robin Hobbs' nine-book metaseries, which is composed of three trilogies: Farseer, Liveship Traders, and Tawny Man.

I also rate Raymond E. Feist's Riftwar & Midkemia stories very highly.

I enjoyed L.E. Modesitt, Jr.'s Saga of Recluce series. He develops his protagonist characters very well in the "boy grows up and becomes a hero" sense.

David Eddings' Belgariad series is quite good.

Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars series is excellent, perhaps a trifle on the pastoral side.

I am told that George R. R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series, and J.V. Jones' Sword of Shadows series, are both spectacular. I haven't read them yet, though.

I've heard that Guy Gavriel Kay's longer books are excellent, especially Tigana. However, of his books I've only read The Fionavar Tapestry, and those were kind of dull (and awkward). But everybody says that his other stuff is much better, so they might be worth a look.

Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series is dependably fun, even if the plot does get bogged down in the middle (around book five).

Robert A. Heinlein and Clifford D. Simak wrote some good science fiction stories. I've heard the Lois McMaster Bujold is on a par with those other two grandmasters, but I haven't read her books yet.

Jean Auel wrote Clan of the Cave Bear, which someone else has already suggested. It's the first book of the Earth's Children series, which I'm told is quite good.

Steven Brust's short "Vlad Taltos" novels are pretty good.

If you like military fantasy (war and political intrigue), try Glen Cook's Dread Empire Series or his Black Company series. Also in this subgenre, try Steven Erikson's huge books in "The Malazan Book of the Fallen" series.

If you like fantasy with sex in it, try Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel's Legacy.

If you like "light and funny" fantasy, try Piers Anthony's Xanth series, Robert Asprin's MYTH series, and Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. Clifford D. Simak wrote a stand-alone sci-fi fantasy that is in the "light and funny" category: The Goblin Reservation.

R. Scott Bakker's Prince of Nothing series is well spoken of. So is Jack Vance's Lyonesse series.

J.R.R. Tolkien is charming, and he's still a standard reference in fantasy.

Since you're a teenager, you might like the Dragonlance stories by Margaret Weiss and Tracy Hickman. They're a little thin, hacky and hokey, for older people though.
