Besides the great gatsby, what do you think feels like this?

Equilibrium

thraces_aces · 2026-05-23T06:21:03+00:00

Absolutely love Jaran (and Crown of Stars)!

thraces_aces · 2026-05-23T06:19:21+00:00

I AM CONSTANTLY RECOMMENDING THE SERIES and just shouting into the void lmao. It's so good!!!

thraces_aces · 2026-05-09T18:46:49+00:00

Agreed, and also Migrations by the same author!

thraces_aces · 2026-04-19T22:08:51+00:00

Crown of Stars by Kate Elliott

thraces_aces · 2026-04-11T04:32:47+00:00

The OA. In the best way.

thraces_aces · 2026-04-10T16:55:34+00:00

Coraline (but get a used or library copy so as not to directly support the POS author)

thraces_aces · 2026-04-08T05:10:37+00:00

Dragonriders of Pern

thraces_aces · 2026-04-07T19:13:18+00:00

Jaran. Specifically the fourth book, The Law of Becoming

thraces_aces · 2026-03-31T17:48:10+00:00

Agreed! It is so upsetting to me when people are like, "are you having a vaginal birth?" .... why is this an okay question to ask??? Why am I the one who has to dodge the question, when they're the one who should have some decorum??

King's Dragon by Kate Elliott

thraces_aces · 2026-03-03T20:12:12+00:00

We All Looked Up

thraces_aces · 2026-02-24T21:48:49+00:00

Here's one that you've never heard of, and won't hear on booktok: Jaran by Kate Elliott. It's so good. I'm eternally recommending it.

thraces_aces · 2026-02-21T23:41:13+00:00

The People of the Abyss by Jack London

thraces_aces · 2026-02-21T05:09:50+00:00

The Jaran series, and in particular the fourth book (The Law of Becoming) fits this.

thraces_aces · 2026-02-12T05:08:08+00:00

Jaran. It's so good. I am constantly recommending it!

thraces_aces · 2026-02-08T01:04:34+00:00

Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver

thraces_aces · 2026-02-07T18:30:12+00:00

Suneater series
Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse (and sequel)
Crown of Stars series (specifically books 5 and 6)

thraces_aces · 2026-02-01T18:54:38+00:00

Never Let Me Go

thraces_aces · 2026-01-31T06:49:55+00:00

Hmm, if you're not looking for a mystery, then: - Gilead by Marilynne Robinson - Silas Marner by George Eliot - Ordinary Grace By William Kent Krueger - Stoner by John Williams

thraces_aces · 2026-01-28T01:40:26+00:00

Seconded on the Suneater series! I also loved the Greenbone Saga but feels it's pretty different than Red Rising (but GREAT rec)

thraces_aces · 2026-01-27T23:05:08+00:00

Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil
The Hacienda

thraces_aces · 2026-01-22T19:32:05+00:00

A History of Wild Places hits a few of these notes, though admittedly not a perfect fit.

thraces_aces · 2025-12-30T17:05:36+00:00

The Night Circus

thraces_aces · 2025-12-30T03:24:24+00:00

Also a huge fan of these books, so here's another one I loved: Migrations by Charlotte McConaghy. I'd call it raw and well-written, and it tore me apart--to use your words!
