Fantastical Mystery Tour: Spotlight Rachel Aaron
[Check out the spotlight on John Hartness and James Tuck for a chance to win more books!]
Continuing our series of Fantastical Mystery Tour authors is Rachel Aaron, an amazing author and good friend of mine. She told me to tell you that she is an absolute genius and to read her books. *Ahem* Moving on. ^_^ (She really is a genius and you should read her books, btw--I just like picking on her.)
Rachel writes an adventure fantasy series called the Legend of Eli Monpress about a charming wizard thief and all the trouble he gets into. This series is rather hysterical (the first scene includes the main character conversing with a door. Really you have to check it out) but it has a lot of depth and not a little bit of darkness too. If you like adventure fantasy, you should definitely check out Spirit Thief, which is now available as part of an omnibus with the first three books in the series.
I'm carrying on again, so I'll skip to the description of the book.
Eli Monpress is talented. He's charming. And he's a thief. But not
just any thief. He's the greatest thief of the age - and he's also a
wizard. And with the help of his partners - a swordsman with the most
powerful magic sword in the world but no magical ability of his own, and
a demonseed who can step through shadows and punch through walls - he's
going to put his plan into effect. The first step is to increase the
size of the bounty on his head, so he'll need to steal some big things.
But he'll start small for now. He'll just steal something that no one
will miss - at least for a while.
Like a king.

Good book.
So probably Harry Potter first unless u count Steven Kings Carrie as fantasy- then definitely that.
