11) The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley
To be very honest I have been putting off reading this book for over two years, for no other reason then reading Spindles End first. Spindles End was a very good read but I only enjoyed it after I finished over half of the book. But The Blue Sword was a fast and truly an enchanting read. I've been craving fantasy lately and I believe that reading this has only made my craving thrive. Since it is a young adult book, the storyline was fast, but not underdeveloped.
Honestly one of the best books I've read so far this year!
