Why read it?

1 author picked Myth Conceptions as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love this book as the beginning of the Myth Series because it was one of the first fantasy books that I felt was accessible. It had great character development and a good mix of drama and comedy. Instead of being a typical long-drawn-out fantasy, there is action and adventure.

When the next book in the series came out, I would reread the previous books so I had everything clearly in mind for the new installment. This series made me a voracious reader.
