I feel like with a lot of books it takes quite a few pages for things to really get going. As an example, a lot of fantasy books will start with a bunch of worldbuilding before the main plot kicks in. Of course there's nothing wrong with that, those part of the story is still really important, but it can sometimes be a bit of a slog to start a new book.
Do you have any book recommendations that grab you from the first page, and don't let go until the last one?
