book rec #1: League of Liars, by Astrid Scholte

league of liars is amazing for fantasy lovers who love when magic has a serious cost. the novel is heavily based in the laws and politics of the world, following a lawyer-to-be as he navigates a complex case. doing magic is illegal in this world, but magic exists anywhere there is a shadow.

Loving someone means risking your heart being broken. But those moments you are together triumph over any hardship.

Review: League of Liars by Astrid Scholte

Review: League of Liars by Astrid Scholte

Author: Astrid ScholtePublisher: PutnamReleased: February 22, 2022Received: Own I have loved Astrid Scholte’s previous works and thus knew that I had to give League of Liars a chance. One thing that did surprise me – I didn’t realize that League of Liars was the start of a new series. I wish I had known that going in. For the record, I consider this a positive, not a negative.

You call this fantasy!?

I have a likewise account, which you put in your favorite books, movies/TV, and podcasts and gives you suggestions based on that. Sometimes ppl make their own posts asking for suggestions and everytime I see a fantasy suggestion ACOTAR is always there. Like do you ppl ever read any other fantasy books?! I have been thinking lately about acotar as a fantasy series and comparing it to fantasy books I read when I was younger and books that I'm reading now like A Deal with the Elf King, A Dance with the Fae Prince, and the folk of the air series. Acotar falls so short. I can think of three books/series that I read when I was younger that were way better at empowering women- and two of them are written by men!

I apologize if I'm not great at describing some these books bc it has been years since I read them. Also nostalgia might be a factor.

Ranger's apprentice series (the og-haven't read the spin offs) by John Flanagan- very lotor vibes. While the series centers around a male protagonist in his journey in becoming a legendary apprentice, there is still powerful and intelligent women in the series. Lady Pauline is in charge of espionage at the fief that Will the MC grows up at, and she gets married to Will's mentor. Princess Cassandra, later Queen Cassandra (that's right she is the heir and becomes a ruler) is in disguise during a war in the series and can defend herself. She also helps Will when he is drugged and kidnapped. I always thought she was cool when I was little and she was my favorite. Alyss who is Lady Pauline's apprentice and Will's sweetheart, is marvelous at her espionage job (suck it Feyre). Princess Maddie-Cassandra's daughter- becomes the first female ranger. Jenny, who grew up with Will, trains to be a cook and becomes greater than her mentor and starts her own restaurant. Even if these women aren't warriors they still have power and influence and are actually good at their political jobs.

Cry of the ice Mark by Stuart Hill- mc Thrirrin is a warrior princess and the heir to her kingdom. When a nearby empire threatens to invade she has to rally nearby kingdoms who aren't friends with her kingdom. The kingdoms of werewolves, giant snow leopards, ghosts, and vampires. Also the snow leopard king and werewolf king become drinking buddies\bffs and its the BEST. At some point Thirrin's father dies so she becomes queen and has to lead her kingdom through war.

Igraine the brave by Cornelia funke (author of inkheart) - mc is born into a family of wizards but she doesn't have magic. Because her great grandfather was a knight, she is interested in fighting and military and her family is supportive of her. But when a evil dude wants to steal some magical books from her parent's castle she with some companions must save the day. This book is middle grade but its cute and short.

Princess of the silver woods by Jessica Day George- I honestly don't remember much about it but it's a retelling of twelve dancing princesses and there's a cute leader of a band of thieves that kidnaps the mc on accident. It had an interesting plot-can't remember what it is-but I liked it. That's about it......

Shadowhunter chronicles by Cassandra Clare ( I know the author and this series has it's own problems but I still enjoy most of it)- I feel like i don't have to explain this one. All I have to say is Clare gets mythology correct (from my understanding) and doesn't use it will nilly. She also portrays fae correctly bc everytime there is a plot with the fae involved I think "oh no here we go again this is going to be tough"

Four dead Queens by Astrid Scholte (this isn't a childhood book but it's good)- The world building in this book is so interesting, it reminds me of the worlds in the animated winx club. There is a kingdom giving off medival vibes, another gives off victorian england/oliver twist vibes, one has Venice during the renassiance vibes, and one gives off distopian sci-fi vibes. These kingdoms are ruled by queens who have a capital city- they rule together but are in charge of their respective kingdoms. the mc is a thief and steals important information from a palace messenger. She finds out the message is about killing the queens and so the messenger and the mc must stop the assassinations. The plot twist was interesting and you can easily piece together clues to figure it out yourself, or you could just be like me and see the clues and think "huh that's interesting" and move on then when the twist comes be like "you know I should have seen that coming."

I have lots more but this is getting long

[dollopheadsandclotpoles]

heyyy~ i have been wondering if you have anymore new recs on books i can read? i have been trying to look for some and i do not even know where to start so i thought i should ask you first~ your recs last time were amazing~ also are there any new aroace novels~ have a great day~

HOW SWEET ARE YOU??? Ahhh ❤ I'm extremely and utterly flattered that you liked my book recs!!

Tbh, I cannot remember what I had recommended last time, but I'll rec some of the books I probably haven't recced before :) ❤

The Emperor's Soul - Brandon Sanderson

This is a very cool fantasy novella which has zero romance and a super cool premise, I really enjoyed reading it especially because most fantasy that's not YA fantasy is so long it was refreshing as hell to have a short fantasy read that was so good!

2. The Good Son - You Jeong Jeong

This is a Korean book which is basically a 'why-dunnit' if you're interested in murder mysteries! Basically this boy wakes up one morning and finds his mom dead... and then he realises that HE killed her, but he cannot remember why. So the book is his journey of discovering why he did it. It's a bit of a heavy book though, so don't read it if you're in the mood for something lighter

3. Four Dead Queens - Astrid Scholte

If you're into YA fantasy, this is a book I really enjoyed! I loved the main character, the premise and the way everything unfolded. Definitely a fun read

4. Proxy - Alex London

This is dystopia sci-fi with a queer protagonist, very action-filled, very fun and the characters are pretty damn adorable

5. People Like Us - Dana Mele

This is dark academia set in an all-girls boarding school. The story is a little ridiculous but honestly it is SUCH a fun read and it's got queer main characters and dark shit and lots of drama and it's just a good time

Aroace books... I recently read Elatsoe which has a Native American canonically ace (and very aro coded) main character. While I enjoyed a lot of the individual elements of the book, I felt like as a whole it kinda felt flat :/ Kinda like how I felt about Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy as well. Honestly Loveless is still leading the charts when it comes to best book with an aroace mc.

#if you want any genre in particular let me know #I'm sorry I can't remember what I recced last time #also people pls rec me aroace books I am in desperate need #anonymous #book recs
