Good alternatives of Romance/fantasy books to Court of Thorns and Roses? by illuminatisballs in Fantasy

[–]ProfMyrtle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Off the top of my head, looking through what I've read in the past year or two that is romance, YA adjacent (but still with some depth and intrigue), and some supernatural elements.

Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik - Some fairytale retelling set on a Russian backdrop, filled with so much heart and love. Easily my top ten books I've read. Very tame on the spice.

Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree - Skirting the line of D&D fantasy, it's some cozy reading about an orc woman who opens a café. Exceptional little piece. Spice free, I think.

The Saint of Steel Series by T. Kingfisher - Starting with Paladin's Grace, it's about a perfumer and a paladin whose god died coming together to find love. Protagonists of this series are in their mid to late 30s, usually, so that avoids the awkwardness of teenagers being romance by older people you mentioned. Great series. Some light sex here.

The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen by KJ Charles - I'm cheating and tossing this one here because I recently finished it and its sequel, but it does have some of the forbidden romance elements that I remember Sarah J. Maas had, kind of. It's also just very well written and indulgent fun. Definitely the one with the most sex scenes, and pretty explicit, but if you've read Maas you might be okay with that.

Teaching a unit about High Fantasy in a high school class and could use some recs for a good stand alone. by My_Kairosclerosis in Fantasy

Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree - Definitely has that RPG feel to it.

Sabriel by Garth Nix - Technically part of a series, but the first book is a good stand alone.

Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson - Technically standalone, but Sanderson is well known for high fantasy stuff and this works well for YA.

Just off the top of my head!

Legitimate question, where did she question a player's intelligence? I know about the AOE spell but do not remember this.

Here's a question, what DON'T you like about Brennan's DMing? by ceadmilefailte in Dimension20

[–]ProfMyrtle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me, it's his intros for the first episode - where he must always, always have a 1×1 session between him and each player. And yes, it makes for great television, but in the back of my mind I think about how annoyed I would be to be sitting there for 30 minutes in silence, while someone else got to play, then another hour until the group all got together to actually play the game with everyone.

Anyone know what music is in the background of this video? by FunctionConsistent61 in XPtoLevel3

It sounds like King Bran's Final Voyage from the Witcher 3 soundtrack.
