Young Adult Fiction for Adults discussion

Hi!
I'm looking for something new to read...

I loved series of His Dark Materials, the Bartimaeus Trilogy, Inkheart (all read in Italian), Percy Jackson and the first 2 books of Kronos Chronicles, read in English.

I would read something that could looks like these books (even they are quite different, I'm looking for "magic atmosphere")

Thank you!

One of the best fantasy's I've read in awhile is: which is by my most recent author obsession.

For somewhat funnier but with magic I suggest .

Also recommended:

I agree with Cassi, Finnikin of the Rock is fantastic and there is a definite sense of magic involved without being whacked over the head with it. :)

I haven't read it yet but Magyk is supposed to be quite good... but I think they're a bit younger than YA (maybe 9-11 or middle grade).

I have just the book for you. I am mid way through The Emerald Atlas and IMO it is a mix between Dark Materials and Chronicles of Narnia. I also recommend Alanna: The First Adventure and The Book of Three.

I just finished and it was better than I thought it would be, so maybe you'd like to give it a try? The second and third books in the series are out already.

I'd recommend , , , , and I second the recommendation for Magyk--to me, the level is very similar to the Percy Jackson and Kronos books.

Thank you all!

I think I will try with Magyk: my English isn't very good, so if it's for 9-11 or middle grade it could be ok!

And I'm also curious about Finnikin of the Rock, but I can wait.

My only doubt now is: paperback or hardcover? :D

This series started a while ago and is just finishing up:

Harry Potter!!

The Hunger Games trilogy!

Based on what you like, I'd recommend:
-Tears of the Salamander by Peter Dickinson (set in Italy :)
-The Magic Thief series by Sarah Prineas
-Changeling by Delia Sherman (because you like Percy Jackson- this is similar)
-Ranger's Apprentice series by John Flanagan
-The Dark is Rising series by Susan Cooper
-Dogsbody by Diana Wynne Jones
Circle of Magic series and Immortals series by Tamora Pierce
firebirds short story collections
bordertown short story collections

when you're ready for a bit more of a language challenge, but not too bad:
the Heirs of Alexandria series by Mercedes Lackey, Eric Flint, and David Freer - starts with The Shadow of the Lion (also a lot of the action in Italy)
