In another thread, Terry had a great idea: recs for books that readers who are enjoying the World of Obsidian might also like. I'm looking forward to your ideas and suggestions for reading material, and I may be back with some of my own ideas later on.

Post your ideas below.

Here are some of my favorite books.

Brandon Mulls- Fablehaven series ( Has an ongoing sequel in Dragonwatch, but I personally have not read it yet)

Christopher Paolini- Inheritance Cycle

Daniel Arenson- Moth Saga and Requiem series

Jane Lindskold- Firekeeper’s Saga

Kristen Britain- Green Rider series

Mercedes Lackey- Dragon Jouster series, Free Barb series, Tales of the Five Hundred Kingdom and Valdemar

Tedd Dekker- The Circle Series and The Lost Book Series

Todd Lockwood- Evertide (only the first book is published as of yet, The Summer Dragon. Note: Todd Lockwood is the cover artist for all the books the Obsidian World, as far as I know.)

These are a few authors/books I will list that may be more youth/teenagers readers. But I still enjoy them.

Erin Hunter- Warriors and Survivor series

Kathryn Lasky- Wolves of the Beyond series

Mary Hoffman- Stravaganza series

Patricia A. Mckillip- Alphabet of Thorns

If you can give me the lee way of classifying Stravaganza as fantasy (still not sure what it is), but that and Alphabet of Thorns were my first fantasy books I have ever read. Around 7 grade, at a time in my life when I read nothing but John Saul horror books (if you want horror, you have to read him) and Mary Higgins Clark mystery novels (I always ruined that by reading the end first. Apparently I wanted the mystery without the mystery. I did do the same thing with John Saul, but he did not have happy ending. So reading the ending first only confused me). Alphabet of Thorn and City of Stars (2nd book in the Stravaganza series, yes I started on the second book) have a special place in my heart.

Forthcoming:

The next book in the "Dragon Prophecy" series is DELIVERANCE OF DRAGONS. Its publication date is 5/27/2025.
