Once again yelling into the void about underrated media.
There's just.... so much amazing stuff that nobody talks about.
I just read Deltora Quest for the first time ever and I wish I had found it sooner. It's so good and plays all the tropes right. And yes, as an avid fantasy reader, I recognized most of the puzzles and riddles a mile off. But there was still so much that caught me by surprise! And even the stuff I saw coming was done SO WELL. The characters are wonderful. The world is fascinating. And the writing style is amazing!
10/10, highly recommend, come talk to me about it. I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS!
The Mapmaker Chronicles by A. L. Tait are my all time favorite series. I have literally memorized huge chunks of it with how much I've read and reread it! It is so good and so well written and I NEED to find people who have read it. Its the story about a boy with a prefect memory going on a quest to map the world and it so amazing. The characters feel real! The story is awesome! There's so much good plot twists and character arcs and moments that make me giggle with glee no matter how many times I've read it.
1000000/10, do yourself a favor and read this series!
Secondhand Lions. I grew up on this movie and it is such a good family film. When I was little I loved the fantastic colorful fights and the shooting at the traveling salesmen. Now I love the quiet found family story and the amazing parallels and foreshadowing. It is so funny and so heartwarming and has something for everyone. The writing is excellent. The characters amazing. And I too, would like to fish with a shotgun.
10/10, really good family film, yes there is a real lion.
Anyways, I would love to see what underrated pieces of media you all love! Honestly I could go on forever with recommendations, but I'll save some for another day.
