She depicts social and political aspects and couples it with a bit of fantasy that you just cant stop reading.

I love Kevin Jared his independent and unique style of writing
Then Chimamanda Adichie, great author
James Patterson for his humor and disregard for ’writing rules’
Dan Brown for his deep research and knowledge in character building
That's all I can remember for now, oops!

Second, would be Patricia Briggs. She brings you into her world, but she tints it with current real world issues. I love a strong female lead who transcends gender norms!

First by far has got to be R. A. Salvatore. The flow he creates during his combat scenarios runs smooth like a movie in my mind. I forget I am reading a book. Don't forget Drizzt Do'Urden!!!!
Second is Patrick Rothfuss for "The Name of the Wind", book one of the Kingkiller Chronicle. Kvothe is one of the most fascinating characters I have ever met.
Then there is Terry Pratchett. "Good Omens" and "Hogfather". Need I say more?
V. E. Schwab is in my top 10 most definitely. "The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue" is a must read.

As she says, her characters live in her imagination and write the books for her as they go through twists and turns that even surprise her from time to time. Their unique but true-to-life characters produce plots that feel genuine and refreshing.
I have visited Ireland a number of times and always enjoy further virtual visits by reading good Irish authors. Denise Deegan who also uses the nom de plume Aimee Alexander has produced some books that I love to go back to, and I am always on the lookout for others.

I enjoy fantasy books. I've heard about Brandon Sanderson, but I've only read his short stories. I've also heard great things about 'The Wheel of Time'.

Anne Tyler is also one of my favorites. Her characters are all very relatable, and she manages to capture the poetic push and pull of struggle and triumph in everyday life. Her writing conveys the quiet desperation of unfulfilled dreams and lost loves that many people experience while simultaneously manifesting contentment and gratitude for the few truly good things that come out of life.
