QUOTE (naturalsciences101 @ Mar 15 2009, 10:38 PM) Can't nobody recommend me nothin' here? Well...since this thread is fantasy-based, I would recommend the following as being more character-based than the usual hack and slash.
- the 2 trilogies I've read by Robin Hobb (Tawny Man and....Assassin?)
- the Long Price Quartet by Daniel Abraham (starts with "A Shadow in Summer") (4th book isn't out yet)
- the Sundering series (2 books) by Jacqueline Carey
Although it sounds like you're not looking for fantasy.

The HP books are fairly unique (at least among ones I've read with my kids) in that the characters really do age, and as they do so, the books become more mature as well.
The first 2 books especially are very hard to read because they are very standard kids' fantasy for 8-10 year olds - just like so many other series. But starting with book 3 and much more so in book 4, they gradually become darker and deeper and much more interesting.
