Hyper Specific Fantasy Book Recs! (a fantasy read for whatever mood!)

It has a mystery with magic and darkness that sort of pulls you in but also has a very endearing almost faded feeling romance as well with a bit of that kind of fun snarky back and forth

It has like a lot of those classic fantasy setups especially with like this woman living in an isolated Cottage in the woods and she's healing people and healing a community and kind of getting involved in politics but she's also kind of mistrusted depending on where she is given her power and knowledge

I love all the characters I love the plot lines this hooked me I flew through it I can't wait for book two this book I also feel like is criminally underrated

It truly has so much going for it and the magic system is just wholly unique it kind of reminds me of magical coding you can break into like physical raw materials and rewrite how they function and work within the world

If you like Pokémon this series is quite literally inspired by Pokémon it also has a school setting as we follow our main character as he gets educated and learns how to harness the magic system lots of military combat and like classic end of the world sort of situations this is one of my favorite series growing up

The drama and intensity of what's Happening both not within the family but also within the family it's just intoxicating I love this series so much

This is dark and mysterious and strange and again academic settings are like very prevalent in this and we also jump forward in back in time so yeah I feel pretty confident if you liked vicious you would love Middle Gate

one of the most unique and strange and Whimsical adult fantasy series I've ever read I am obsessed with this series it's truly like nothing I've read before

This book is so incredible the writing style the setting just the exploration of queer identity is just impeccable I love this book so much

The atmosphere of this book is too good and Magic does play a part in this it almost feels like you know when you're watching Twilight and has that like blue filter over everything

It also has a really interesting fantasy setting as well as very complex like politics that are at play the plot is like a slow build but it's intense and absolutely captivated me

It has humor and light-heartedness but also so much heart and introspection it's truly a delight

Follow such a likable main character and it's set in the City of Edinburgh but like a slightly alternate version of our world in this version it's a bit darker it's a bit Grimmer and ghosts exists

She is not only one of my like favorite characters in the series she's one of my favorite characters in fantasy in general her perspective her motivations just so richly explored and this is just a fantastic book in series

The historical influence and also the story influences of this book just absolutely shine I can't wait to read book two I was really intrigued and entertained by book one this book is great

The magic system in this centers around Elemental Magic and there's lots of different types in this world and in this one Community it's ice Elemental Magic and we get to learn how that works

It's just like fascinating to be in this character's mind I felt like she was constantly tricking me shocking me disturbing me and I loved it

This book honestly hooked me from page one definitely one of my favorite newer fantasy releases of this year I could not put it down
