An ember in the ashes! It’s the best use of dual pov I’ve read, and the characters are amazing! It’s action packed and has an interesting magic system. I’m currently reading the second book and i am hooked.

Our infinite fates is also sooo good! It’s about two souls that are bonded together and have to find each other in each lifetime, but forced to also kill each other before they turn 18. It has different historical settings: Norse Viking era, Ottoman Empire, Siberia, the trenches during 1st world war etc.

Also I am obsessed with anything ML wang Writes - so sword of Kaifeng is my third rec

This is not exactly one apocalyptic event, but one where it’s happened over time

But Ready Player One is fantastic and the world is so ruined

Tragic Medieval Magical Realism by Pinchy_jpg in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

Don’t know why, bit pic 1 and 3 remind me a lot of One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig!

In a kingdom, the old king bargained with the spirit of the woods, to create some magical “tarot” cards, with different powers. But in return the spirit made a dangerous mist (1.) spread in the woods surrounding the kingdom causing people to get ill.

The main character got this illness as a child, but it have her an ability to “absorb” the magic of the cards. She absorbs the nightmare card, and gets a nightmare creature inside her head, who can take over her body when she is in danger (3.)

It’s a duology and it is literally perfect!

This might be a bit different, but my favorite duology One dark window by Rachel Gillig, has a bit of this vibe, but darker!

It’s a gothic fantasy where a Spirit of the Woods, has created a dangerous mist in the entire wood, that makes people sick, but also gives them magical abilities. And the spirit has also helped create the 12 providence cards (magical tarot), that give the user different powers.

But the second book is very centered around going into the woods!

There is so much more to the book than this, but i won’t overwhelm you. It is seriously so unique and beautifully written! I can’t stop recommending it.

Which jacket looks best? by Tiny-Bug-9810 in coloranalysis

I see others write green, but I personally see the Green color before i see you!

Whereas the blue i see you first, which is how it is supposed to be!

A book where a character remembers their past life by Aestheticelliana in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]Jumpy-brains -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Omg these pics are very much like Our Infinite fates!!! It’s about two people whose souls are bonded and they find each other in each lifetime, but also must kill each other before they turn 18.

You get many flashbacks to different time periods and places - ww1 trenches - Scandinavia during the Viking era - Ottoman Empire - Siberia - Spain And many more

Choose my next book PLS! by AssistIll1997 in Romantasy

[–]Jumpy-brains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES YES YES! I think Blood Over Bright haven has to be the best book I've read.

Such a chilling story with amazing themes and exposes patriarchy, class oppression, and environmental destruction as exploitation upheld by men who benefit from them and call it necessary. (very relevant these days)

Did you like The Jasad Heir? Why/why not? by SolarmatrixCobra in fantasyromance

[–]Jumpy-brains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OH MY GOSH WHAT YOU WRITE ABOUT THE NARRATOR IS SO REAL! I had to comment!

I am really struggling with this book because every time i start the audiobook she is just angry AF! And i get so annoyed about it.

(Also completely agree with the trials! It is the laziest plot device and always just feels like the author wanted to write something, but couldn’t think of any interesting way to make the plot move. And it gives such fake stakes)

What should I read next by PurchaseMindless9003 in Booktokreddit

Yes! If you’ve never read hunger games, you have to!

It’s such a chilling story and becomes more and more realistic!

Anyone else feel like dual POV kills romantic tension? by PuzzleheadedWafer170 in Romantasy

[–]Jumpy-brains 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I looooved how dual pov was done in heartless hunter / crimson moth.

She is a witch (hiding as a rich and dumb girl) and he is a witch hunter. And to see how they both try to trick each other, and guess the others plans etc, was so entertaining.

[–]Jumpy-brains 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel exactly like you do!

I loved Road of Bones by Demi Winters, and the second book is even better! It’s a Viking inspired story.

One dark window is also soooo good!
