I loved House of the a Scorpion by Nancy Farmer
The dungeon crawler Carl series by Matt Dinnimin is fun and the audiobooks have great narration and is almost more like a radio play.
Oh shit I haven’t read Nancy Farmer since sea of trolls, thanks for the reminder!
Carl is on my new wishlist for my birthday next month. I’m contemplating if I want to get slightly used if I’m gonna get the rest newish as they come out.
I’ll look into Farmer though. They divide each genre into larger series, like Star Wars/Trek and authors. Is that a series or a standalone book?
Honestly I don’t know if it is a series, if so, it’s the only one I read. It’s a dystopian story set in the slightly distant future where the drug cartels have claimed most of the American southwest.
