Well, I got into fantasy in about seventh grade, when I started reading Tamora Pierce's Immortals series. It's a good starter series, in my opinion. Hell, it's just a good series. And I think that some books come off as bad because fantasy can be hard to write. You'd think it would be easy, especially if it's a whole new world, but it's harder to make a new world than it seems. After all, you have to set limits and follow them, to make it seem realistic. Personally, I find more books that I like than ones that I don't. And the ones that I didn't like were just boring to me, more than they were poorly written. Though I've come across that seem great the first time through, then aren't so fun in re-readings. For those times, I blame reading a bunch of awful books or just re-reading books I'm tired of for a long time.

Flux_o_color rockywitch I have to say that it's because one day I was watching Who Wants To Be a Millionaire and all of a sudden a question came on asking, Which is the most popular book series for children. Needless to say the answer was Harry Potter, and I asked my parents what it was and my dad bought me the third book and i read the first few chapters and I was hooked. Then I finished that series, and moved to a different place where the first friends I met got me hooked into the Wheel of Time series. I think the reason why some Fantasy books are horrible is because every person's tastes are different. And it's rather difficult to create a fantasy world and make sure that everything continues the same. It's not an easy thing to do. It isn't an easy thing to do, not only to have tp keep up rules to a whole new world, you need to make it unique from alll the others out there. I say "thumbs up!!" authors!!
I agree completely! heart
