I WOULD say The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson, an amazing epic fantasy novel with cool magic that also acts as the crossover between a lot of different series that Sanderson has written all taking place in the same multiverse. It's really, really well-written and cool and are the best books I've ever read. The Way of Kings is my second favorite book of all time. My favorite is its sequel. The WOULD comes from the fact that it's over a thousand pages long. Very, very good, but you've got to trust the guy and his worldbuilding powers before you dive into something like that.
I still say everyone should read it, definitely, but as an alternative for people who don't like 1000 page books, I'd say Mistborn, from the same author. It's a shorter book, and the beginning of a really cool series. It takes place in a single city in a world covered in ash, and the first book focuses on a band-of-thieves-turned-revolutionaries who possess Allomatic powers, meaning they gain special abilities by digesting certain kinds of metal. Also well written, exciting, and just a really good read.
What is a thing you carry on you all the time that acts like a security blanket?
