Reddit reviews Foundling (Monster Blood Tattoo, Book 1)

You seem to have two types of books here, fantasy YA and classics that span the genres.

For fantasy YA-type books I recommend:

1. The Monster Blood Tattoo series by D.M. Cornish.
   
   
2. The Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathon Stroud.
   
   
3. The 3 volumes of the Chronicles of Chrestomanci by Diana Wynne Jones.
   
   
4. The Discworld Series by Terry Pratchett. It's not technically YA but would be very complimentary to YA, I think. The books are mostly standalone, though set in the same universe, so you can start anywhere. I started with "Small Gods," and it was great, so I recommend it as an entry to Discworld.
   
   
5. The Abhorsen trilogy by Garth Nix.
   
   For non-YA I think you might enjoy from the other books you've included, I recommend:
   
   
6. Watership Down by Richard Adams
   
   
7. The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings by Tolkien
   
   
8. Since you're interested in Sherlock Holmes, I wonder if you might be interested in The Beekeeper's Apprentice by Laurie R. King. It's the first in a set of novels reimagining Sherlock Holmes after his retirement, when he takes on a young woman named Mary Russell--his match in intellect and observation--as a protege. I first read The Beekeeper's Apprentice at about your age and loved it.

You should absolutely read Foundling, and the cost makes it a great use of an audible credit. The story, while it starts with your typical odd orphan out setup, is one of the most original I've read. The worldbuilding is amazing, and unlike anything I've yet experienced elsewhere. The main characters are well rounded and intriguing, and some of that mystery clings and draws you on, further into the trilogy, all the way to the end.

It's about a boy named Rossamünd, who lives in a world where monsters are real, and the people who kill them get a tattoo with the monsters' blood as the ink. But are the monsters really what they seem? And is Rossamünd, or the people he meets on his journey? Everything keeps you guessing, and keeps you reading.

I stumbled on this one at a used bookstore, and originally bought it for my kids. I ended up loving it so much I bought the whole trilogy for myself!
