What are books that surprised you with their genius?

Above question.

For me it was Piers Anthony’s A Spell for Chameleon. As I was reading the book I started to get wise as to what Bink’s magical gift was. But I really didn’t expect for his magical gift to be as nuanced and clever as it was. It was such a big reveal I immediately read the book again and appreciated it even more, with a much greater appreciation of the events that transpired and the people Bink meets.

Also Piers really did keep it going in later books with Bink’s cameos and I also really loved how thought out Dor’s magical gift

Last mention since I can totally nerd out about this book series was how great Humphrey was.

Thank you.
