It was 2007, I was a teen sleeping on the floor of the new house we moved into. Internet wasn't set up, nor was my bedroom. My Mum's partner (at the time) had a collection of books that I rummaged through for entertainment since, you know, no internet :(
I ended up snatching the book called Daggerspell and was surprised at how engaged I would be. The book, Daggerspell, is authored by Katharine Kerr, and is part of her Deverry series.
Daggerspell was my introduction to the fantasy genre and kept me hooked! The book covered so many different ideas too - romance, feuds, dark scary magic, etc.
The story follows the protagonist through many generations, whom is unable to die until he fixes fate (which he messed up, oops). The story is presented with a main "timeline", with little short stories showing the protagonist's attempts at fixing fate in previous century/decades.
I'd highly recommend it, the world is imaginative, the nature of magic is creative, and there's a whole series to read!
I wasn't much of a reader before, but Daggerspell grabbed my attention, and ignited my geeky interests in fantasy.
