Forest Kingdom

This is one of Simon’s epic fantasy book. It is well-written from the beginning to end. The book is a mixture of many things. It will make you sad, scared, laugh, and empathise with Rupert (main character). Rupert is expected to kill a dragon; however, it turned out opposite. The dragon became his friend. And together, they are going to fight real monsters of the Darkwood forest.

Simon actually has many other incredible book series for sci-fi fantasy lovers. We find Hawk and Fisher and Forest Kingdom the best. His other best-selling books that you should not miss are Deathstalker, Ghost Finders, Nightside, Secret History, and Standalone.
