Moers is so damn good. He brings the fantasy back to the fantasy genre. None of that formulaic bs, just pure unadultered imagination that can still hold a coherent, unpredictable, fun story. More authors should read him and take example. If we got an entire half a century of derivative literature from flogging Tolkien's corpse, then we should be able to get a little bit of Moersian fantasy as well. Y'know. As a treat.

Seconding the recommending for Finnikin of the Rock, especially for people who want to read story themes centered around the the displacement of a whole people and the trauma surrounding that. This is definitely older YA with more mature themes. Each book also has romantic subplots which are petty well done.

Good to see someone passionate about reading less well known books. I've found it harder and harder to find good alternative books. It seems like too many books become a 'thing' and then crowd out everything else. I will always recommend anything written by Charles De Lint for anyone who hasn't discovered him. Also Guy Gavriel Kay, Janny Wurts, The Night Watch series of books by Sergei Lukyanenko, Holly Black, Joseph Delaney's Spook's series of books & Robert Holdstock.

I need someone else to read Placebo Junkies by JC Carleson (under 1k reviews on Goodreads)! It's about a girl who makes a living by participating in medical trials and research studies and is trying to save up to fund a dream vacation for her and her boyfriend, who just beat cancer. She needs to rake in a lot of money fast, so she decides to do as many trials as possible, navigating the medical scene and scamming the researchers but the drugs begin to mess with her perceptions and things might not be as they seem... (I recommend not reading anything about this book or any reviews, it's also such a quick and entertaining read, very trippy as well.)
