Ender's Shadow is basically Ender's Game from Beans point of view starting off though with the beggining of Bean's life. Its awsome as hell and funny how basically Bean makes Ender look stupid.

Oh also the Assasin Trilogy I was talking about is the same as yours.

We seem to have pretty simular tastes since I didn't like Game of Thrones for the same reason and couldn't get through it at all.

 

I'm working on that and the art of war.

 

good though i haven't picked it up in like a month because things kept popping up.

 

Try David Eddings who has some realy good series

 

The Tomorrow Series by John Marsden

http://www.panmacmillan.com.au/johnmarsden/jmtitles.htm

Biggles Series by Capt. W.E John (WW1+WW2 stories)

LOTR Series

All I can think of right now.

Jarhead

 

Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind (Ninth book just came out on paperback)
This series starts out really good but slows down by about book 5-7. Good series because each book has a plot of its own to fellow but also has the main series goal in the back ground. Magic and swords.

Shannara series by Terry Brooks (Think its about 7-9 books long so far)
Only read The First King, Sword of Shannara, and The Elf Stone of Shannara
Rare magic, swords, and some war parts.

Wheel of Time By Robert Jorden (Think the 11th book is out in hardbound)
Yet again suffers the same as Sword of truth around the same book area. But it slow to the point nothing really happens. Heavy magic, swords, with some war

Eye of the Gods By John Marco
Light romance in the first half of the book. Low magic for abit, swords, with some war

 

Dragonriders of Pern by Anne McCaffery is a good series, and has a dragon view that is to my knowledge unique.

I have just started Sword of Truth series (finished first book), and the first one was quite good, cant say for the rest but hope they are.

More scifi Ender's Games is a good read, at least I enjoyed it. Honor Harrington series by David Webber is sci-fi, but you have a lot of enjoyable moments.

Redwall series is a possiblity but no idea if its one you personally would enjoy or not.

 

Orson Scott Card : Enders Game

Weis And Hickman : Dragonlance Chronicles

Philip Pullman : His Dark Materials Trilogy

R.A. Salvatore writes good books
[The Hunters Blades Trilogy is what im reading]

Richard A. Knaak : War of The Ancients Trilogy

 

if you want a good series like harry potter go for the series SO YOU WANT TO BE A WIZZARD it is great.(little childesh in the begging books but gets better).

 

don't forget the dark elf trilogy

 

dark elf trilogy and the so you want to be a wizzard series is good

 

try the "Death Gate Cycle" by margaret weis and tracy hickman. a 7 book series that has nothing to do with ansalon or dragonlance. has elves,humans,wizards, dwarfs that go by a different name. its a good read.

 

The Lost Years of Merlin by T. A. Barron excellent series of 5 books and I highly recommend them

The Lost Years of Merlin
The Seven Songs of Merlin
The Fires of Merlin
The Mirror of Merlin
The Wings of Merlin

 

those are good

 

The Pendragon series is pretty good. It's by D.J MacHale, I like the series of course im 13 so maybe its not for the older people.

The Seventh Tower by Garth Nix is good, hell alot of his books are good. The Seventh Tower especially though, has a form of magic, and a group of warriors Ice something.

Elizabeth Kay The Divide. It's only two books but lort's of magic and magical creatures, Humans are mythical in the world the main character finds himself in.

Star Wars actually has some good books but thats more sci-fi.

I'd also like to recomend the DragonLance series. Artemis Fowl is also pretty good.

That's all I can think of right now so yea more later.

NOTE: I'm 13 the books above I mentioned might be more geared for kid's but if you want you can try them.

 

13 year old reads above his age go with penndragon
