I am actually reading Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell right now and agree with you completely! As for Throne of Glass, I liked it less than I like Fangirl, but can agree with you about the characters.meganxxcooper wrote: ↑29 Jun 2015, 16:28 I recommend "Fangirl" by Rainbow Rowell. It is so witty, relatable, and entertaining! The characters are hilarious especially Levi. Most booknerds understand the perspective of Cath as a Fangirl for a book, so it's perfect for me and many others.
Secondly, "Throne of Glass" by Sarah J Maas is an exceptional read. Celaena is an assassin in a death camp until she is rescued, only to compete to be the King's personal assassin. The characters are valiant and Celaena is such a kick-butt female character.

I would agree that Sarah J Maas is amazing, but I would also recommend her A Court of Thorns and Roses series! It's one of the best series I've ever read.dorebri2020 wrote: ↑25 Jul 2019, 08:23 Anything by Sarah J. Maas, but personally I recommend the Throne of Glass series. It's fictional and magical, but extremely fun.

Haven't gotten too far into it, but it's really progressive and witty.

- The Escape From Furnace series: not well known at all, but really just so fantastic! It follows Alex who gets himself into juvenile prison for some making some really bad decisions but this prison turns out to be a very, very bad place. I loved this because it shows Alex, a really not-so-great-kid turn into a pretty decent one, how he forms friendships in the middle of hell, and their undying drive to make it through. It's funny, thrilling and emotional, just brilliant.
- After The Snow: Not well known either. Set in the future, but not science fiction. It follows the journey of 15-year-old Willow whose entire family goes missing one day, and how he navigates through being completely lost, not just physically but also mentally, and shows how decent people just help each other even when things are pretty bleak.
- Lockwood & Co.: The writing! I love the writing so much! Although the last book I did not enjoy very much, I loved the characters. It's hilarious, thrilling and full of mystery.
- Life of Pi: Not exactly YA, but does feature a 16-year-old protagonist. Gorgeous writing, and a very unconventional MC with a brilliant story about fighting through the odds when you're cripplingly lonely.
