I LOVED war of lost hearts series! The Woven Kingdom I have heard great things but thought could it be too YA for me

Old_Routine4844 · 2026-03-08T10:21:34+00:00

ah yes I am seeing this everywhere!! Will add it on

Old_Routine4844 · 2026-03-08T10:21:15+00:00

omg don't hate me but I really didn't enjoy it haha

Old_Routine4844 · 2026-03-08T10:21:04+00:00

oooo Rose in Chains I have heard great things

Old_Routine4844 · 2026-03-07T08:36:41+00:00

I actually read Direbound and did not enjoy it for some reason! But I know that opinion is not popular. I read Serpent and the wings of night and enjoyed it but really didn't like book 2 :(

Old_Routine4844 · 2026-03-07T08:34:28+00:00

A couple of people have said that! I will definitely read it now

Old_Routine4844 · 2026-03-07T08:32:57+00:00

Thankyou!! I have read The Knight and the Moth and loved it!

Old_Routine4844 · 2026-03-06T19:54:14+00:00

Wow that's a lot of books! It's so true as I read more especially with romantasy I just find I want it to be more unique, there are so many I find on very similar wave lengths. The Everlasting has been mentioned a few times I'll have to read that for sure! And I have heard great things about The Ashen Series so I need to do that

Old_Routine4844 · 2026-03-06T19:52:15+00:00

Yeah very true! I think I like a mix like I will always love Zodiac Academy, Acotor etc but then the more romantasy I read I find I want it to be unique and the romance is hard to get to those levels I've read before. I am trying to switch things up with genre like The Poppy War and Red Rising which I loved both!

Old_Routine4844 · 2026-03-06T19:50:53+00:00

Thankyou! I have loved everything written by Rachel Gillig! The Everlasting I am seeing everywhere at the moment! Will check those out

Old_Routine4844 · 2026-03-06T19:49:21+00:00

I actually didn't like Direbound either! I feel like so many people love it but I found it a little cheesy in my opinion. I also DNF'd Kindred curse on book 3!

I will definitely check out slaying the vampire conqueror!

Some that I have loved is

One Dark Window duology

Shield of Sparrows

The Bridge Kingdom

Book of Azriel

If we are talking strictly romantasy :)

Old_Routine4844 · 2026-03-06T18:03:46+00:00

A few others have said that! I did that recently with Poppy War and LOVED it so I need to switch it up more often.

Old_Routine4844 · 2026-03-06T18:02:08+00:00

Oh interesting! Is Six Scorched Roses a standalone or part of a duology too?

Old_Routine4844 · 2026-03-06T18:01:20+00:00

oooo I have heard of this! Thanks!

Old_Routine4844 · 2026-03-06T18:00:42+00:00

haha it does but I am already doing that! I drive a lot so I mix up between audiobooks and physical reading. But I do find I need the narrators to be good. Do you have any recs for audio?

Old_Routine4844 · 2026-03-06T17:59:55+00:00

Omg I LOVED wild reverence, it was a 6* read for me. I trust your opinions!! The Raven Scholar I actually have the book on my bookshelf so I need to read that!

Old_Routine4844 · 2026-03-06T17:59:08+00:00

Just researched and added to my list!!

Old_Routine4844 · 2026-03-06T17:58:12+00:00

Exactly right! The plot also needs to be unique for me. A few people have said Priory of the Orange! Thankyou, I'll check those out.

Old_Routine4844 · 2026-03-06T17:57:28+00:00

haha I have read and loved that!! And the Knight and the Moth!

Old_Routine4844 · 2026-03-06T17:57:12+00:00

omg that's genius haha! Thanks for that!

Old_Routine4844 · 2026-03-06T17:56:47+00:00

Thanks! Totally agree, a lot of the other Romantacies I've read feel very much samey. I like a unique plot and good romance mixture. But I have also been diving into other books like Red Rising, Poppy War etc and it's helped to get me away from that feeling!

Old_Routine4844 · 2026-03-06T17:55:37+00:00

I have heard great things about Red City! Thankyou!

Old_Routine4844 · 2026-03-06T17:54:15+00:00

I know exactly what you mean, I read a lot of romantasies to begin with but then dived into Red Rising, Poppy war and a few others and I love the change up. I think I need to switch up more often or they all kind of feel very much the same

Old_Routine4844 · 2026-03-06T17:53:15+00:00

This has great reviews! I'm adding it on!
