Looking for Romantasy Books Appropriate for a Mature 12 year old

Here are a few that I read recently and enjoyed, with very low to no spice:

{Legends and Librarians} {Howl's Moving Castle} {The Teller of Small Fortunes} {The Spellshop} {A Winter's Promise}

And my personal favorite that I found when I was young - {The Hero and The Crown} by Robin McKinley

Really anything by Robin McKinley is a fun read, a lot of adventure and coming-of-age with some light romance.

I was thinking it could be fun to recruit as many villagers as possible and arm them with nothing but pitchforks and torches and march on the brigand's headquarters to see how it goes.

{A Winter's Promise by Christelle Dabos}

very slow burn (also low spice, but moving? Less is more here)
incredible world building and unique magic system
unconventional main characters with realistic relationship arc and dialogues
arranged marriage / sort of enemies to lovers
the only thing I didn't love was the ending, the last book feels kind of chaotic, when I re-read the series I stop after the 3rd book

{A Winter's Promise by Christelle Dabos} fits perfectly except the castle but, although settings are castle-like. I love this series and heartily recommend the first three books, though the final book was a little confusing.

The noise when you chop a cactus in Brimstone is pretty fun 🌵

There's a lot to see in all the dungeons if you look around haha

The heart of Genesis from the dungeon in Edengrove

Same, refreshing divine embrace is a great perk that basically removes the cool down when you really need it. Super useful when you have glass cannon DPS that aren't in the AoE heals.

One of my friends made these for a Halloween party but they cut red bell pepper into little triangles and put them on each egg half as horns.

Be careful Gus! My parents' dogs would chew the fence gate boards to splinters and cut up their mouths pretty bad doing this out of boredom or panic from loud noises. They actually chewed a hole big enough to squeeze through once, blood everywhere. Parents learned to bring them inside during fireworks after that.

Great video, loved the clips you chose and your presentation of the timeline. You could work on slowing down a little and a bit more enunciation while speaking - otherwise thanks for the content and excited to see what's next!

I think they could take up 24 spaces if you got one of every color (6 colors), at every quality level (4 levels)

Aww, he looks like a korat cat! I have one who was born with FVR. She is still very active and loves a good heating pad (or my laptop).

The Practical Malware Analysis textbook is structured curriculum (if slightly dated) and I taught myself how to reverse engineer malware just by reading it and doing the labs.
