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

it's incredibly intense it's very dark and Emma Wong is saying and doing a lot with this particular story but it's also definitely dark Academia definitely very dark too but I love this book

this is a classic recommendation and one that's a lot of fun especially if you love the enemies to lovers elements of season 2 of Bridgerton this brings two characters together who despise each other and like have to form an alliance

I have read books from two of her series and I would say both of them sort of fit this bill I have the seven water series here but also dreamers fooled by her also fit fits this bill perfectly

this also has one of my favorite magic systems of all time it's so clever and complex and I often describe it as magical coding

I loved every single second of it a beautiful writing style a sequel that recently came out that I personally need to read I loved this immensely

this book is wacky it has hilarious character moments understanding and unpacking this world which sort of has like this steampunk Edge is just great

this is a book that definitely caught me by surprise earlier this year it's a Romany story that I feel like lends again a really great fantasy plot line with actual enemies to lovers tension within this book

it's fun and endearing and the Dungeons and Dragons inspiration goes beyond just like the setup and synopsis it also influences things like the combat as well it's a great balance of like action and humor and heart

this is one of my favorite books of the year when I read it a couple years ago it absolutely touched my heart made me cry made me laugh

it is in fact so slow bur that things have been introduced in book one which is not a short book at all but I'm not exactly clear exactly how things are going to unfurl between the various characters and romantic connections and that alone has me on the edge of my seat

but still one of my all-time favorites and just like I love this Trilogy immensely

this is a perfect example of an unlikely group of individuals forced to go on a very dangerous Quest together it's also full of so much humor

this has to be one of my favorite magical Library set stories cuz I feel like Mark Lawrence really captured this sort of endless feeling of this magical place

if you're looking for something that has a little more angst within the romance as this does have an element of like enemies to lovers and sort of the tension that exists between our two main characters is quite Central to the story and plotline

there's lots of combat within this particular book and a really interesting cast of characters including one of my favorite fantasy moms out there who will do anything and go through anyone to get her child back

there will not be a day that passes that I will not take the opportunity to talk about this book because it is severely underrated and I personally feel like it should be beloved by the internet

I mean a classic who doesn't love a woman forced to go work in a dangerous Tower in the middle of the forest with a mysterious Wizard who's supposedly evil but guess what he's not actually evil but he's also really attractive and they begin to form a bond

the perfect balance of like scary horror with these really freaky vampires but romance and family and drama and history I love Isabelle Kanye so much
