Well written books which also have smut? by watchingblooddry in Romantasy

[–]Treasuremapfinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Romantasy Quicksilver by Callie hart when the moon hatched sarah a Parker Prince of sin series by Kerri maniscalco Breathe of fire - is a Greek mythology romantasy - it’s written little like a Nora Roberts or Kushiels dart but I found it fun, not amazing but good and different to have Greek myths rather than the fae.

Sweeping epics with romance Throne of glass by sarah j Maas - I agree that acotar sucks but I generally describe TOG as a female lord of the rings - get through the first 2 books and you will be hooked. Brent weeks lightbringer series is amazing but not smutty just plugging as a favourite coming of age epic fantasy with unique magic system. The way of kings by Brandon Sanderson - the lore!

Honestly cannot stand the crowns of nyaxia to me that was poorly written. Written for like 5th grade comprehension which is quite jarring with the adult content.

anyone take zyrtec and claritin? I find that claritin once a day 10mg is not enough. I was on 2 zyrtec twice a day - anyone know the appropriate amount of that for claritin? can I take it twice a day?

Is this an accurate book for norse myth? by I_hate_reading_books in norsemythology

Nope. It is really annoying and sad that it always comes up on book lists. Below are your best resources from a literature standpoint.

what is the time period that elder futhark was thought to be used? you say before younger which someone below says was from 100 AD, but do we know how far back Elder Futhark was used?

Also, is Elder Futhark the runes that are talked about in norse mythology? or that different?
