A lot of young adult authors take this placement, whether or not people tally up the writing to ‘predictable’ or not the fact that the author knows what the reader wants and rewards that is a big factor why these books are so popular. A good example of this is Rick Riordan, he understands what the reader wants with the books as he’s writing them and every chapter feels like a reward to the reader for paying attention.

I’m a big fan of books by Graham Salisbury, under the blood red sun and eyes of the emperor are someone of my favorite historical fictions based in Hawaii. I never grew up with a grandpa or grandma who would tell me stories of Hawaii in the 1940’s or 1950’s so these books were my outlook.
