Those books would be pretty much perfect for you. . .I also have a list of other young adult books, but some of them might not necessarily appeal to you just based on your list:
Uglies, Pretties, Specials, Extras, series by Scott Westerfeld -- about a future society, thought-provoking, funny, accessible, relatively short
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak -- narrated by Death, about the Holocaust, but in an intimate and touching way rather than it being distant or like a history lesson, a bit longer read, poetry in every line but still very accessible
The Looking Glass Wars and Seeing Redd, series by Frank Beddor -- the true story of Alice and Wonderland, quick read, very original
Wicked Lovely, Ink Exchange, (and the third one just came out but I don't remember the title) series Melissa Marr -- faeries, again, very original, a clear, beautiful writing style
Crank, Glass, Impulse, Burned, Identical, (Crank and Glass are 1st and 2nd in a series, the rest are all separate) by Ellen Hopkins -- about real life, tough issues (drugs, suicide, abuse) written in verse, which is so cool, poetry, but again completely accessible
City of Bones, City of Ashes, series by Cassandra Clare -- teens hunting demons but in such an original way, great tone, very well-created atmosphere, totally accessible
hope these helped :)What age group is the Bartimaeus Trilogy meant for?
Yeah at 14 you can read it. It gets very interesting book to book and not very challenging.
For similar books you can try The Arthur Series it is a boy who has the namesake of King Arthur and uses his seeing stone as a guide as he matures and ages. He is able to watch Arthur of the past threw it. There are 3 stories so it is a Trilogy, The first one is The Seeing Stone.
Also, there are books I read which are just one book but good The Alchemist, The Iron Ring are just 2.
I just started a series today called House of Night about vampires and stuff. Very interesting. Also, Twilight is good read all of them.
I personally like the Lord of the Rings trilogy, so Eragon would be my recommendation. Here is a link about fantasy works that might help your decision:
written for young readers.(14 is fine) other fantasy series... City of Bones by Cassandra Clare, Tunnels(can't remember the author), and The Lightning Thief by Percy Jackson. (all of these books are the first in a series)
Yeah you could probably read it!
