I need suggestions for Fantasy books for Emma
So, Emma is really enjoying her surgical rotation at Vandy. Big surprise, I know. I told her not to worry, that she would find her niche, and of course it is the niche that she long ago knew she wanted to be part of.
Anyway. She is fiending for some new fantasy books to read. To give you an idea of what she enjoys, she has read the Tamora Pierce novels so many times that I think she has had to replace several of her books. She had this to say today about them: "Oh and I started reading the tamora pierce books that go w/ will of the empress. You can definately tell that they are some of her earlier books. Not really all that great. I think she's trying to do too much w/ introducing 4 character stories all at once in such a small book. Will of the Empress was pretty well written, so I'm hoping that these books get better as I go along. They are still entertaining and it's always nice to escape into her fantasy worlds. Not Tortall w/ alannna, george, and jonathan. But still good :-"
She loves a good story with strong character development. She likes a story that pulls you in and makes you want to know more about what is going down with the people. It is all about the people for her. She is not a fan of the Terry Goodkind books, to give you an idea of what she does not like. Never having read them I cannot really tell you what her specific dislikes are. She has read the Robert Jordan books several times and enjoys them immensely.
So, any suggestions for my girl? She needs good books to read when she is on call and the nights are long and slow. I am putting this out there because I know a lot of my friends are voracious readers and will hopefully have some good ideas.
Thanks in advance.
