I suppose the ending was sad, but it could have been sadder.

I still like Harry Potter and Narnia better.

I really like the Tamora Pierce books. Those are still by far some of my favorite books. And I love Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson books.

I'm a huge Tamora Pierce fan. I must have read all the Tortall books a million times over.

Me too!!! Oh my gosh! I love them so much! I really need to get new copies of a few of the books because they're falling apart from how loved they are.

Lol no kidding! My first Alanna book fell into three pieces the other day x3 I have read it too many times.
Someone gave them to me for Christmas when I was ten and I devoured them. I still read them at 21 x3

I started them when I was 11 and still read them and im almost 22. They were the first books I really liked.

I haven't read Beka's yet, although I'm dying to. Have you?

@Angel, Yes, that's true, and Narnia books rate very high for me since I've read them about a dozen times...

@Mal and Airi, I've never heard of those books, what are they about?

I like Tamora Pierce's books, too. <3

I feel like reading some more of them soon.

The Redwall ones by Brian Jacques are great as well.

Ohhh, Redwall...I love those. I have several of them :3 I wonder if I should read them again...hmm...

I need to read some more of them since I have not kept up with them.

Robin Hobb is a solid favorite, for sure. Excellent books.

Mal: I've read the first Beka book and own the second but I haven't really gotten into them as much as the others.

Serra: The Tortal series by Tamora Pierce is a now 5 series long series. If that makes any sense. It's set in a land that's kind of like Europe. It is set in Medieval times. The first series is about a girl who masquerades as her brother so she can become a knight. The second is about a girl who has magic associated with animals. The third is about a girl who wants to become a knight and is the first to try since the girl in the first series. Then the fourth is about the girl in the first series daughter. And then the fifth series is about the ancestor of the first series' girl's husband. There's magic, immortal animals, and lots of awesome things! I love them so much!

I'm currently reading Eldest. The book after Eragon. It's pretty good.

I've never gotten into those books I've tried so many times....

The books you're describing sounds so familiar Airi...makes me wonder if I read them before.
