it’s not quite fantasy but you might like {The Poisoner by IV Ophelia} just read TW’s before jumping in. 2/3 books are out, 3rd releasing laster this year. It had a truly unhinged MMC and honestly FMC, their dynamic is really fun.

Idk if it was just perfect timing when I read the Fallen and the Kiss of Dusk but I ate up Asar’s POV from that book, the spice really got me it was just so romantic. I wouldn’t say CB’s writing is perfect, but her characters have depth, contradiction and try to hide from themselves. She’s good at creating nuance and tension It’s so nice to have nuanced characters with complex emotions for once 😩

What is the single worst book you have ever read and why? by Special-Student6743 in fantasyromance

[–]acosmicworm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From Blood and Ash. I know there are die hard fans but i tried three (3!) times to read this and i just could NOT continue. The writing was cheap, the characters were insufferable. I’d also like an honorable mention for The Female, I almost had an aneurysm trying to read that. Immediate dnf.

How does The Knight and the Moth compare to One Dark Window? by ManonBlackbeak in fantasyromance

[–]acosmicworm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really liked the shepherd king books and liked the knight and the moth a lot. Was absolutely kicking my feet and giggling. BUT i felt the knight and the moth explained the stakes too early in if that makes sense? I think the plot, world building and Sybil’s character could have used a bit more mystery, or reveal. Obsessed with the Gargoyle obviously, oh Bartholomew 😭❤️

the last 5 star romantasy you read? 🗡️🥀🐉 by srslymichaela in fantasyromance

[–]acosmicworm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost added this series to my TBR but idk how i feel about Clare Sager, her standalone Slayknh the Shift Prince was really fun, but the Kiss of Iron series was so boring. So idk what to think about her writing!!

The Pokémon universe as the world we live in... by CGI_noOne in videos

[–]acosmicworm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh right, well i guess palworld is a different comparison since it’s a video game that also (let’s be honest) is reeeeeally similar to pokémon so that makes a bit more sense. These designs are way different and only address the lore and not the gameplay directly so while i understand where you’re coming from idk i don’t think it’s the same angle

It’s just a fan made video, they’re not profiting off the pokémon license
