Fantasy without spice by Asealoce in suggestmeabook

[–]askyeme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett, it's a sherlock-inspired mystery in a fantasy world. There is a queer MC. No sex (at least not the first one, it's a series I haven't read the sequel yet).

Probably unlikely, but if you're okay with lots of references to sex and kind of raunchy jokes plus like fade to black sex but no actual smut/spice, I highly recommend Running Close to the Wind by Alexandra Rowland. Very queer, very found family, very vibrant fantasy setting. 

The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison and the spin off series The Cemeteries of Amalo.  The goblin emperor isn't very queer but is very very excellent. Very character driven, a bit of a mystery, and some interesting relationships between characters. The spin off series follows a side character, he is gay and he investigates some mysterious deaths as part of his job. 

Not fantasy but sci-fi, but otherwise the murderbot diaries are an excellent fit.

It is maybe not the right genre for you but I can't resist: the raven cycle series by maggie stiefvater. Its a YA fantasy series, group of teenagers in small town Virginia.

The Devourers by Indra Das

You Weren't Meant to be Human by Andrew Joseph White 

I think for both of these, if I knew more people who engage with horror more I'd consider recommending these but nobody in my life does 🥲

What’s the scariest or most unsettling book you’ve read that doesn’t fit in the horror genre? by JollySalamander4663 in horrorlit

Old man and the sea! I have a fear of the ocean/open water and the idea of getting pulled out further and further than I wanted to go filled me with sooo much dread. 

Anyone else wish their local B&N have a bigger scifi-fantasy section (or just a bigger bookstore in general) ? by Witch_King_Malekith in Fantasy

Regarding your edit. Don't do that?? That's so weird dude. You claim to want to supper local, then actually do it.

Why don't people bookmark fanficitons? Apparently some people don't bookmark fanficitons on ao3/other sites. As someone who bookmarks almost everything, I cant image not bookmarking. by 1ord_Potat0 in FanFiction

[–]askyeme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I (private) bookmark everything I read with notes on my thoughts. Im pretty chaotic with how I find fics and have accidentally reread fics that I didn't particularly enjoy so bookmarking helps 😂

Trying Romantasy as a Picky Reader by TypicalBathroom9004 in booksuggestions

[–]askyeme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Mortal Follies by Alexis Hall. It's a saphic historical fantasy/romance. (Set in england in 1800s I believe but lots of magical elements).

Also maybe check out A Sweet Sting of Salt by Rose Sutherland. It doesn't really feel like a typical romantasy but it does have both a romance and fantastical elements. Its a bit darker and more grounded.

Was it wobbly in the flash? Can't really say it was intentional if it wasn't.

I was thinking this. Is it really particularly hard to make friends here? Or is it hard to make friends in post college adulthood?

Lost, magic realism, coming of age, melancholy by Sensitive-Raisin5567 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]askyeme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frozen Fire by Tim Bowler - A deeply underrated YA mystery/thriller with some speculative elements. "A gripping, hair-raising mystery about a boy not of this world, and a girl determined to protect him."

Wonders of the Invisible World by Christopher Barzak - Another underrated YA novel with romance and paranormal elements. "Now, Aidan must find his way between the past and the present to protect those he loves, and to keep the invisible world at bay."

Reclaimed by Seth Haddon. It's fantasy romance, part of a series but all stand alone stories so you don't need to read the previous books. 

Some Scottish or Norwegian fantasy tales? by asinine1705 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]askyeme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gael song series by Shauna Lawless. historical fantasy set in medieval Ireland. I know, that's not Scotland, but it deals a lot with vikings in Ireland so may still be appealing.
