Hi Steph, so excited for the readathon! Just FYI: there's a huge chance that Vera Winters books both have an AI cover AND were written by AI... the author has no internet presence (like none!) and each cover in the series is different artwork and if you read reviews.... yeah, people are saying that it might be AI written :(
Hiii! Omg! thank you so much for letting me know, wow I’m glad to know now rather than actually reading it. Ugh, it’s a good reminder to continue to be better about looking into authors and books. Thanks again for letting me know! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
@@stephaniebookish Yeah no worries!! I, too, was so excited for the book bc it looked like something right up my alley but then I started checking GR reviews and digging in and... yeah. I'm just disappointed people would do something like that AND with a queer series!
thank you for so many recs!!!!! i love romantasy now and can’t wait to dive into some of these!! thank you for loving love triangles !!!!!! that’s what we call ✨taste✨
I really hope the shattered kingdom is good! I freaking love desert fantasies/fanros. You should try the Stardust Thief (it's YA) but it was very vibey and more fantasy than fanro. The only thing is we have no idea if the series is being continued 😫
Have you ever tried the Anita Blake series? 👀 All the paranormal creatures, murder mysteries galore, and it develops to emphasize the romance a lot more.
I'm on book 2 of the curse of shadow and thorns series, which is court of ice and ash (I can NOT with these titles). I was also starting on Ever king and was like hold up back track. I'm having fun with the series. Its a pretty fast read and I'm enjoying the characters for the most part. I think it can do with a little more world building, but i'm still in the beginning of the series, so we'll see.
i'm so intrigued by this woven kingdom because aaron has also sold me on it but i remember seeing so many negative reviews for it when it came out so i will eagerly be awaiting your review heh
if you haven't read the alchemists of loom by elise kova yet, i would recommend! the MC is pansexual, and one of the other POV characters is sapphic as well - i feel like because the main couple is m/f, it isn't as well known that it is actually queer
