Hello everyone,
I'm very new to this forum. I have just finished reading "Goblin Wood" by Hilari Bell (a trilogy) and "Darkness of the Light" (The Hidden Earth Chronicles series) by Peter David. I'm about to get the sequel for Goblin Wood, which is "Goblin Gate", then "Goblin Wars" when it comes out on October of this year (Hopefully). But before then, I'd like something to read while I wait.
I'm basically looking for books that has great stories involving non-humans as allies instead of enemies. This involves Goblins, Orcs, Minotaurs, Lizardmen, etc. except Elves since there are much of those already. Books that are in a series are a big plus also so that I always have something to look forward to once I finish a book. The story itself, should, if possible, concentrate on one character's journey and interaction with the other groups. If not, it's ok just as long as it meets the other criteria above. I'm open to suggestions since I have the urge to read these.
For reference, I loved reading the Harry Potter Series, Percy Jackson series, The Ranger's Apprentice series, and the Twilight Series, Goblin Wood (Hilari Bell), Darkness of the Light (Peter David). Most of these (Except Ranger's Apprentice) had some sort of non humans helping them and that's what I'm after. Plus they all had the same story structure I was looking for in a book.
I appreciate any suggestions. Thank you for your time and have a nice day.
