I completely agree! Fantastic series so far and the I like the female lead the best in this series of all the fantasy serieses. Its definitely a worthy read. Its a six book series but only three have come out so far. I am eargerly waiting for the other books in this storyandthemusicfades wrote:Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas is an amazing fantasy. There's magic, but its not your typical Harry Potter-style magic at all. Its more of a dark, demon-world, pagan magic. The main character is an assassin, so there's action, as well as a bit of romance sprinkled throughout. Definitely worth your time, and I believe the last book just came out.

Alternate world: Jim Butcher's Codex Alera Novels. Any of Anne Bishop's books. The Others has replaced Black Jewel series as my favorite world ever but all of her worlds are amazing. Parasol Protectorate (very steam-punk-y novels with a main character who is unaffected by supernatural stuff around her)

I also have a few recommendations to add to the list:
The Abhorsen series is definitely one to check out, especially since Nix released a prequel recently (I haven't read it yet but it's supposed to be just as good!)
Daughters of the Moon by Lynne Ewing is a great YA series that I thoroughly enjoy, although the books might be semi-difficult to obtain as about half of them are out of print
P.C. Cast's Divine by Mistake creates a stunning world (Partholon)and deals with goddesses as well as vampire-like creatures that are utterly terrifying. Cast's other books would be worth a look as well, this is just my favorite series of hers.
So You Want to be a Wizard by Diane Duane is geared more toward children but the characters travel to many unique and fantastic realms and I think readers of all ages can appreciate the series

It sounds kind of boring, but it is really exciting and had me at the edge of my seat the whole time. I strongly recommend it.

Contrarywise
Zohra Greenhalgh
From back cover - "Contrarywise HIS NAME MEANS MISCHIEF... Rimble, the Trickster, is a merry god - dancing through streets as a gust of leaves, hobbling along canals as an old hag, roaming through gardens as a wiry dog. And where Rimble travels, trouble follows. Trouble of a most peculiar nature. One has to be sanely mad in order to see its method. The residents of Speakinghast, unfortunately, are blind to Rimble's ways. From the Jinnjirri, whose hair changes color to match their moods (and whose gender fluctuates almost as often), to the Tammirring, who listen to the winds of the universe and translate its sigh - not one can see the significance of the Trickster's game. And see it they must, for now his odd pranks are becoming quite dangerous. And definitely deadly..."
I loved this book! Uniquely dark without being macabre.
