Mine is the wings of fire series, it is a “kids” novel (think like warrior cats age range)

But Tui T sutherland is so good at writing characters and introducing and describing worlds and characters that i reread it every so often. Like, she managed to write a book from the pov of a mind reader and it works.

Every book is from a different character’s pov and each character feels wholly unique.

The main issue with the series is that the plot is kinda average at best, the characters really carry the story.

    Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Süskind. I read it years ago and still remember how gripping it was, not sure how well the movie has aged, but it was a fantastic book.

      I do hope you didn’t properly read the question? It’s what book you love despite its somewhat low quality/ not being a “masterpiece”.

      Perfume is on all major literature and best books of all time lists.

      The title remained in bestseller lists for about nine years and received almost unanimously positive national and international critical acclaim. Wikipedia

      This is one of the great books of the 20th century. Who are you to imply its not of quality?!
