A coming-of-age story is essentially ageless. The markers of a particular age — freshman year, first love, learning to drive — are all just so much set dressing. The real core of the story is a boy coming to terms with who he is, embracing his inner weirdness, and dealing with the conflicting expectations of his family and himself.
Thus the optimal age group to get the most out of Switch is 11-14, because the fictional setting matches their life. And after that? The book has no age limits because it captures a particular mindset: being way over your head but determined to figure it out.

Yes, this is a three-book series. I have noticed that people get confused with this book because of the title of the first book being so iconic. While the sequels do follow the characters and continue the story, they do not have the same ‘wow’ factor as the first book. ‘Too Good to Be True’ continues to build the world and ‘The Last Goodbye’ wraps up any loose ends.
As for the box set or an omnibus edition of Carrey Mill Malcolm’s „Tr additions“- these will have to contain all three books of the series, as there are no more books planned to be published.

I checked a few manga databases to confirm. The original First Edition Tankoubon had 18 volumes. Later a Renewed Tankoubon edition was published in 2003 in 18 volumes as well. It is only with the so-called ‘perfect’ or ‘collector’s’ editions that the number of volumes starts to vary. For the purpose of this thread, however, we are talking about the original manga as first released, translated into dozens of languages and read by millions of people worldwide to create a global phenomenon. These are great for new readers in omnibus editions, which are even more affordably priced and published on better paper. But for the collector of old manga or for the manga purist these 18 volumes are what he or she is looking for. The casual reader of manga who only wants to read the story, on the other hand, can opt for any complete edition that contains the above mentioned 18 volumes of manga.

This is going to make me a big nerd, but I'm pretty much still a little kid. I love a good series of books and then re-reading them to catch all of the little details that I missed the first time through. There is an original 5 book story arc for Percy Jackson & the Olympians. The books are The Lightning Thief, The Sea of Monsters, The Titan's Curse, The Battle of the Labyrinth, and The Last Olympian. I read these all in a weekend once and felt that the world that Riordan created was completely finished by the end of the fifth book. He didn't stretch it out too long, it was just right.
So beyond the five-book story arc of ‘Percy Jackson & the Olympians’ there are many more books, series and short stories by Rick Riordan set in the same universe. But to answer your original question, the original ‘Percy Jackson’ series by Rick Riordan is 5 books long. My favorite book changes from time to time, but currently my favorite is the first book, ‘The Lightning Thief’, which I still love for the newness and wonder of it all. Want a re-read buddy?

The critically acclaimed ‘Nevermoor’ series by Jessica Townsend is currently comprised of three books: ‘Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow’, ‘Wundersmith: The Calling of Morrigan Crow’ and ‘Hollowpox: The Hunt for Morrigan Crow’. The books follow Morrigan Crow, a determined and feisty protagonist, as she journeys through the magical world of Nevermoor, full of wonder and magic, facing various challenges and dangers along the way. The first book sets up Morrigan’s escape from her cursed life and subsequent arrival in Nevermoor in search of a new beginning.
Jessica Townsend has a brilliant way with words, transporting readers to Nevermoor with his wonderful descriptions of all the people that Morrigan meets. It’s a really light-hearted read, but has some deeper moments too. We’re told that more books are going to be added to the series, and I for one cannot wait to continue the adventures of Morrigan Crow in this fascinating and original take on fantasy.

This is a digital library of 4 hard cover books. They are all available on my Kindle. Unfortunately, it was a real challenge to get these published as e-books several years ago. However, they are now once again available as e-books. Each of these lengthy novels is substantially longer than a light novel published in pamphlet form. And, although there are only 4 entries in this library, there is plenty of reading material here to fully immerse yourself in this extraordinary world.

Note that The Last King series proper consists of five “official” books, but diehard fans like myself will tell you to read the companion short story “The Black Herald” between Book 4 and Book 5. It is the best way to experience the true development of the protagonist from a tough, rough-around-the-edges-outlaw-type to a noble, reluctant leader. And the last book’s cover art, with the broken-up crown, still sends shivers down my spine.

So is it worth it? For the first book, yes. It’s a masterpiece. For the sequels, that’s less clear and it really depends on how you feel about diminishing returns. My feeling is that while Herbert adds lots of stuff in the sequels, the quality of what he adds declines significantly. The consensus seems to be that Dune is the best, then it declines, but then mysteriously increases again in God Emperor of Dune (some people hate it, others love it). The last two books are hit or miss for most readers. So it’s a page count gamble. Sometimes you’ll read 1,000 pages of absolute wonder and then another 2,000 pages of varying degrees of confusion and frustration, but it’s all worth it for me because the high points are so, so high and the book is so, so original even when it’s badly written and confusing.

It’s a single novel, a standalone, and often hype around things that are book club picks or are in development for TV can make them seem larger than they are. This novel feels like one novel and I didn’t feel any pressure to read three or four novels to get to the end of this one story.
All storylines are brought to a close by the end of the book. That does not mean that all characters are brought to closure regarding their lives in general, however. In reality, their lives are never brought to closure and many ends are left open. However, the specific plot of the book is concluded for you. Therefore, if you detest cliffhangers and are worried about having to wait for years for a series to continue, this novel is a safe bet. It is one book, with one story. Everything is brought to a close for you, within the confines of the book, and you will be left satisfied.

This book is Number 25 in the Heartland series and sustained a single protagonist and a single theme throughout this long work of fiction is a monumental achievement. Not only did Lauren Brooke go for such a long time, but the subsequent novels were written by ghostwriters, working to publisher’s directions. Thus it is testimony to the powers of Lauren Brooke and subsequently the publisher and ghostwriters that each new book introduced new horses, new client problems andAmy and Ty’s ongoing personal growth, while never straying from the core of ‘Heartland’. This is far harder to achieve than it seems. A very impressive literary feat.
