The Chronicles and Megamorphs books are great too. Those are both canon to the main books. The reason there's filler volumes in the first place is because the writer had a kid around the start of writing the first volume and after volume 20 or so she had to take a break for a while and raise her kid. Ghost writers took over for another 20-30 volumes while she came back once in a while to write a Chronicles or Megamorphs book here n there. Then she came back again for the last handful of volumes to finish off the series on a ridiculous cliffhanger. She then went on to write an even darker series called Remnants about the end of the world and only a small group of people escaping into outer space and all the weird stuff they encounter along the way as they just try to survive. There's a small preview of it at the end of the final volume of Animorphs. Good scifi stuff. Heavily overlooked because people couldn't get past the weird covers of Animorphs and most people never heard of Remnants. Another series I got into was Harry Potter before the big controversy about the writer. The first few books i couldn't really enjoy because they were book reports that had a deadline for school. But Prisoner of Azkaban onward i was able to read with no rush and actually soaked it all in. It was a time travel story too so that got me hooked. A little scifi mixed with fantasy doesn't hurt. Speaking of scifi mixed with fantasy, there's the Shannara series of books where it starts off like Lord of The Rings but then takes a sharp turn into science fiction with it actually taking place in the far future where mankind had to restart and there's ancient weapons and technology. This was written back in the 70s like a lot of other scifi books and movies and tv shows. But yeah, that's the explanation behind the dwarves, the elves, ect. A war wiped out and separated humanity and they all evolved differently. Finally there's Dragonlance which has TONS of books. Pure fantasy all the way. [/QUOTE]
