It's not all that, but MG fantasy (or that crossover area between MG and YA - the one inhabited by Jonathan Stroud, Rick Riordan, Derek Landy; I'd put Harry Potter in this category as well) seems to offer more options for plot and character focused adventures that don't necessarily completely eschew some romantic developments but don't focus on them to the extent of the rest of the plot becoming irrelevant. |
Lol, but hey you know.....who cares
Yeah, I avoid those too. Too much drama over relationships is boring for me to read.
I absolutely loved Bartimaeus books, due to genius character of the same name
Haven't read the other two, but based on your ravings here (take that in a positive manner please
) I added Scepter of the Ancients (Skulduggery Pleasant #1) to my purchases and I will read it soon
