Fantasy Book Club

Might land myself in hot water here but I want to see what everyone else thinks - I didn't like this one from VE Schwab...As with all of VE Schwab's books, she knows how to write and her concepts are fantastic but this felt too bloated and drawn out for me. Further thoughts in the comments! Let me know what ya'll think!

Is this book appropriate? I don’t like s*x, and only want little to no language, and no lgbtq characters if possible. It sounds so good but I don’t know if it’s appropriate

Ok ok, no spoilers, but i’m reading From Blood and Ash, and i’m on book 2 (A kingdom of Flesh And Fire) SOMEONE TELL ME please, do they end up loving each other? I feel like i know the answer but omg they keep saying “let’s pretend” and “you can have a divorce or wtv” do they fall in love???? #fantasy #romance #frombloodandash

I was thinking of getting the book “A Forgery of Fate” by Elizabeth Lim but noticed that it’s part of the “Six Crimson Crane” series and I keep getting mixed answer anytime I look up what order to read the series in. Some sites is saying that it’s a stand alone while others say you have to read the series to understand the book. Can someone please tell me what order to read all the books?

Has anybody read this? It sounds fantastic.

Sorry, more books hitting my my Pangoshop: https://pangobooks.com/bookstore/sarah605940

Did anyone actually enjoy this book? I’m about 70% done and the writing is atrocious. How was this recommended by multiple people?! There is a game changing plot twist around the corner, right? 😓

👋 I think you would be a great addition to this group. https://likewise.com/groupinvites/escaping_reality_readers_/byuser/awesome_user_Julz we are picking our book for book club now come join us.

Just for fun and a bit of writing practice, I need some semi-prompts. Character is male, 20s-30s. Magic is fairly abundant. If somebody could provide a location, artifact, magical creature, and maybe the current state of the location (dwarf city; occupied by goblins). If you feel like adding other details, feel free.

Is there any Romance in this book? Thank you! 😊

Hi ya’ll! Anyone have any book tropes they wish were made into a playlist?

This book had me hooked from the start. It's about a poor young woman who survives by being a thief. When a theft goes bad she is saved by being transporter to the fae realm. She has a hate love relationship with the fae warrior that saved her. He needs her to use her alchemist abilities to help win their war. Really looking forward to the 2nd book which is coming out in late 2025.

Just got The Book Of Azrael and was wondering if it is worth reading. Is there any romance and if so, is it good?

I just finished this book and noticed very prominent similarities between this and Red Queen. Am I the only one or has anyone else noticed this.

This question is just cuz. Your answer can be purely opinion or a version that you've read/seen and liked. Whatever. Are elves vegetarian or not?

Thoughts on LitRPG/GameLit? I'm really enjoying the genre, (subgenre?) but I have a few issues with the way some handle the RPG elements. Currently reading He Who Fights With Monsters, by Shirtaloon, (Yes, that is the author's pen-name, his parents aren't that evil, apparently) and find the item descriptions, power-up notifications, and advancement descriptions really boring and repetitive. The story, characters, dialogue, world and everything else, I absolutely love.

This was a 5 star book for me. It's the second book in a series starting with the Sword Catcher. I loved Clare's dialog and character development. The premise is a boy that was abducted to become a look alike to the prince to protect him from threats. They become best friends while growing up. Would recommend if you like Royal life d'éviction, ruthless political conspiracies, light magic, bromance and romance subplots without spice. If you have read this or Sword Catcher please post thoughts.

Anyone read this? I’m in the middle of it and I’m not sure how I feel about it. Up for a discussion!
