   The first one is the best time-travel novel I've ever read. The second one is okay. The third one is extremely good and funny. The fourth one is a decent urban novel. The fifth one has a vast world view and a perfect beginning. The sixth one is the best supernatural fantasy novel in my opinion. I'm currently following these ones. The novels I recommend later may not be as good.
