I just finished the Ender/Shadow series. There are so many books out there I do not know where to start?

What books would you suggest?

Posted by hatrkr81 (Member # 9317) on :

If you want another series, go for the Alvin Maker series starting with Seventh Son. Very different, but incredible all the same. The Homecoming series is also a good choice if you want a series.

If you'd rather a stand alone, I'd go with Enchantment or Magic Street...both of these are incredible and more of a fantasy book.

Worthing Saga is quite good, doesn't usually stand out in my memory, but I reread it this year and was surprised at how much I liked it. Less memorable characters, imo, or at least less focus on them, but an interesting story and lots of different important ideas explored.

Thanks For Your help

My favorite non-Ender OSC is Pastwatch. Lovelock's pretty good, too. Both are standalones.

Hart's Hope gets my vote (always) as one of the best stand-alone fantasy novels ever. I recommend that one.

Is there ever going to be a Lovelock sequel?

Posted by hatrkr81 (Member # 9317) on :

I want a Lovelock sequel too! [Frown]

Personally, I kind of liked Hot Sleep better, but both are such different takes on the story that they are both worth reading. Hot Sleep might be hard to find right now in book form, but it is in the first issue of Intergalactic Medicine Show, which I would highly recommend.

For a lesser known, read Treason.

Posted by DaisyMae (Member # 9722) on :

I love Treason. My favorite OSC stand alone. If you want to go series, definitely start Alvin Maker.

Posted by Cyronist (Member # 9691) on :

Here's what I would suggest:
Alvin Maker series (7th son is the first book)
Treason, one of my favroite OSC books.
The Worthing Saga (incredible book!)

Try those, you can't go wrong.
