Mine is the wings of fire series, it is a “kids” novel (think like warrior cats age range)

But Tui T sutherland is so good at writing characters and introducing and describing worlds and characters that i reread it every so often. Like, she managed to write a book from the pov of a mind reader and it works.

Every book is from a different character’s pov and each character feels wholly unique.

The main issue with the series is that the plot is kinda average at best, the characters really carry the story.

    Ah! That’s really cool that he replied to you!

    I have a difficult time reading and Fool is one I return to often and read from front to back. It’s definitely my favorite of his so far, but I haven’t read too many others.

      Fool really does define itself out of a lot of his other works since it is based in Shakespeare’s world. If you like that kind of pre-existing, historical type of setting, I might recommend Sacre Bleu. Moore explores Vincent Van Gogh’s superstitions about using the color blue in his paintings and how it connects to his maddening and unusual death. Even without knowing a ton about art or famous artists, he really did a good job bringing in every major player from Monet to Degas as characters in the book in a way that explained who they are and what role they play, all with an inventive and entertaining supernatural explanation as to why so many 19th century artists were a bit bonkers.

      That said, I just found out Moore created a Fool trilogy with Pocket going on to be the main character in the sequels The Serpent of Venice and Shakespeare for Squirrels (I also just found out he did a sequel to A Dirty Job which I’d always longed for)! Needless to say, now that I know they exist, they’re all going on my reading list!
