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.

Fun fact! Erin Hunter is a pseudonym for a collective of authors including Tui Sutherland! She wrote Wings of Fire after she stopped writing/editing Erin Hunter books. I found out while I was working in an elementary school library.

Not my favorite, but I recently finished the A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J. Maas. Nothing in them is original, and she heavily borrows from folk tales and mythology, but she makes it very satisfying. She's REALLY good at knowing what her audience wants, imo, so it was fun to read.
