pretty ballsy of the author to let her gender be known in a YA series that isn't female-oriented. she had a lot of faith in the male portion of her potential fanbase. anyway, i remember thinking i was dreaming when my english lit class was assigned to go through this book series for the year. had the time of my life even if we never got to reach the end in time.

How did you all feel when you realized an anime of this existed?
Jonathan Thomas
Does anyone remember the deltora quest browser game or was that a dream
Jordan Collins
I remember I read all these but I guess they didn't really stick
Someone give me a quick rundown to see if I get some flashbacks
This was the one where there was some good kid who turned into a desert assassin like voldo from soul Calibur and could like swim in the sand? Or something?
Matthew Harris
10 year old me got bored with the first book and never finished it.

Michael Russell
I dunno, I started reading them when I think I was around 10 or 11, because the last two books weren't out yet. Or maybe just the last book. I might have been 12.
But at that age I didn't really give a shit about the author. Read Harry Potter, read artimis fowl books, I always thought eion colfer was a woman anyway, sabriel series
I think kids don't really care about the writer behind the books
Carson Perry
I loved this series. I'd be down for a live action adaptation
Benjamin Fisher
Would make for absolutely comfy fantasy kino
> That twist at the end of each series that my puny ten year old brain never saw coming
Absolutely based
Benjamin Morris
I only remember the covers, this and Redwall

Is it good?

it's pretty generic but just the fact that it exists is mind blowing

Fuck I need to reread all of Deltora Quest. I don't think any of the books were bad

How well it ends?
Do they kill the dragons and live happily ever after?
Noah Hill
mccaffery wrote dragonriders of pern in 1967
Jonathan Jones
Every book would just be a single episode because they were each like 70 pages

>Each book the main character has to go and get a gem to put in his magical belt
>he has a wild forest girl and older fighter dude with him
>he has to get the belt with all of them gems to the dead king's heir so that the evil emperor can be defeated
>it turns out the MC was the king all along{/spoiler]
There were like 3 or 4 more series after that with the characters going off on more adventures. It was pretty comfy, and I remember loving the different monsters. The illustrator who did the covers came to my school and taught us how to draw once. Apparently the author wanted to write a series similar to video games like Final Fantasy to get more kids reading, which worked I guess.
Josiah Ramirez
Rowan of Rin was also good
Juan Richardson
they find the last remaining dragon from each of the 7 tribes and use them to kill the "Four Sisters", who are creations of the Shadow Lord who hide at the northern/southern/eastern/westernmost extremities of Deltora respecitvely. They then realize that the lines they draw across a map from all 4 locations intersect over the City of Rats, so they fly there with their 7 dragons and fight this huge grey boil thing that spreads a sludge that kills everything it touches. After that Barda gets his Amazonian waifu and has fuck tons of kids, Lief and Jasmine marry and have some kids, and everyone lives happily ever after.

Xavier Moore
This is the best fantasy series out there, wholesome, comfy and fun
Rodda showed fallout of winning a war in a fucking YA book series (and she actually finished her books unlike certain fatasses)
Brayden Hughes
Yes, yes, well done, Deltora Quest, well done...
HOWEVER!
Jack Adams
This, but it's because I'd read the Hobbit and could already notice the drop in writing quality. Read LotR for the first time shortly after.
Benjamin Nelson
Fuck this awakened some forgotten memories from deep in my brain
Jason Bell
oh yeah, i remember being heavily engaged with it. i ended up having to give it up because i couldn't figure out the answer to a certain riddle and there was no find to find a walkthrough of it. i also remember being spooked by that maze where a wrong turn would have that giant blue slug pop onto the screen. it wasn't even a jumpscare and i don't remember there being an audio cue but it still filled me with dread to see it come up
Ryder Allen
it was that and calvin & hobbes. i still can't remember what it is about C&H that lured me into buying it without checking reviews or just borrowing it from a library first. it was an impulsive buy and it somehow turned out perfect for me. and i wasn't even a comics fan either, couldn't really get into the humor of peanuts or garfield
Luis Ross
>fallout of winning a war in a fucking YA book series
What the fuck is it with female writers giving accurate portrayals of war aftermaths in YA books and getting away with it? I'm not complaining, I just find the lack of censorship amazing. KA Applegate did this too with Animorphs. I was left in an emotional ruin
>So, you don’t like the way our little fictional war came out? You don’t like Rachel dead and Tobias shattered and Jake guilt-ridden? You don’t like that one war simply led to another? Fine. Pretty soon you’ll all be of voting age, and of draft age. So when someone proposes a war, remember that even the most necessary wars, even the rare wars where the lines of good and evil are clear and clean, end with a lot of people dead, a lot of people crippled, and a lot of orphans, widows and grieving parents.
Brayden Myers
I was gifted the second book in the last series by a teacher in elementary school, Shadowgate,
which kind of goes to show how poor of a reader I was at the time as it was 2005 and I would've been eleven and didn't read it for several months to a year after receiving it as I didn't read that often. Then I finished the Dragons of Deltora Series and the rest
fuck me I wonder if I was like 13-14 finishing those books because I went back like two years ago and was shocked at how low the reading level is
Ian Martinez
>when my bitch ass cunt sister wouldn't let me buy 2 books at once when I knew I'd read both

this might literally be the first book cover i've ever seen where a bug alongside humans is featured as an ally. i'm curious now
Jose Martin
Garth Nix is a great YA author and Shade's Children or Ragwitch would be great adapted to TV/film.
Cooper Jenkins
This series is responsible for my interest in fantasy and writing. I loved these books when i was young and blazed through them. The one with the city of rats and the one with the see no evil mice or whatever and the giant snake were so cool.

David Hill
Doesn't it exist mostly because the author's daughter liked anime?
Landon Phillips
That's wholesome.
Blake Perez
I was a little too young for Shade's Children and would read and re-read the sex scenes with a furious little boner
Mason Cooper
Man, Sabriel was fucking great.
David Richardson
Now this deserves an adaptation. My fondness for Necromancy as more neutral than evil in fantasy mediums is based entirely on this series. Also using music along with magic. Good shit all around.
Hudson Evans
>tfw so sluggish today that i was just about to get ready to make fun of the book cover for seemingly boasting about the fact tim curry had read it before catching myself in time and realizing it's an audiobook
i'm not even inebriated so i've no excuse
Kayden Ross
Step aside, gentlemen
Xavier Jones
Still buttmad this masterpiece never got the recognition it deserves. Far better than Harry Potter, must've re-read it at least 10 times.
Xavier White
that's a good one
William Phillips
Yes! I was trying to remember this! Our teacher used to read it to us in first grade
Joseph Hernandez
It's absolute trash. No joking one of the worst animated things I've seen.
I really did love these books though.
