This is another excellent one! And I would put the Magician series second only to Dragonlance Chronicles in terms of my favorite classic fantasy series (I guess they’re classics now, can I call them that? Am I officially old now? πŸ˜†)

This was easily the most influential book in my own personal journey. I’d enjoyed the Narnia and Elfquest books as a young child, but this book really opened that door fully for me, starting a lifetime of fantasy reading and writing. Tanis and Flint and the others are like family to me!

I love it. This was the book that got me into fantasy in like 5th or 6th grade. I had years of fun with Dragonlance books after that, and it greatly influenced my own writing as well!

Cool! πŸ™‚ That is exciting, I experienced it for the first time recently. So fun.

"Why do people have to be this lonely? What's the point of it all? Millions of people in this world, all of them yearning, looking to others to satisfy them, yet isolating themselves. Why? Was the earth put here just to nourish human loneliness?"

Picture of a book, open and lying facedown. Both front and back covers show the book name, Odyssey of the Twins. On the cover, the twin brothers are in the foreground, and Loran has his arm around Jerin. In the background is a wooded area, and high above in the sky is a floating city.

Another one? Okay I'll do this one too. πŸ˜†

I'm bookmarking this, very interested! (I don't have a store yet, but hope to before long. My first book is YA fantasy, and book two, without giving away spoilers, will definitely fit your criteria).

Bonus Rep: found family/ friendship group rep. Disability -including neurodivergent- rep, and -if your books is set on Earth- cultural and ethnic diversity.
