Not me sitting here and sobbing cos Lila got Alucard to teach her fire magic first so that she'll never have to be cold again after almost freezing to death on the streets of London multiple times

I'm following some tags for books I enjoy and how come nobody has read and is obsessing about Silver Under Nightfall by Rin Chupeco? This book is legit one of my absolute favorite queer fantasy reads of all time now and it seems criminally underrated.

Read Silver Under Nightfall if you enjoy:

Monster hunters allying with monsters

ostracized but highly competent main characters

massive Netflix Castlevania vibes

gothy, horrory worldbuilding

MC wielding a dumbass overcomplex weapon

The Witcher vibes

MMF poly relationship, or as the author puts it "vampire couple finds himbo in the trash and takes him in"

MC realizing that most people in his life have been shitty to him and he does in fact deserve better

trash parents and having complicated relationships with them

just a good book most of all okay I have standards for plot and prose and action I really liked this one

It's currently one book, but the second half of the duology (Court of Wanderers) is gonna be out sometime in 2024.

If you've read it, be my friend pls, if you haven't go read it and then be my friend pls.

My new ebook is available today on Kindle Unlimited.

Happily ever afters really are possible.

From ancient myths to beloved fairy tales, such as Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, and Little Red Riding Hood, these stories capture the essence of their origins while also offering a fresh and modern perspective. Lesser-known myths such as necromancy and neo-pagan Lunarpunk round out this compilation.

In Spell & the Heart, you'll meet heroes and heroines who challenge fate, confront their fears, and discover the true power of love. You'll journey into enchanted forests, brave dangerous quests, and witness the triumph of hope over despair.

Whether you're a fan of fairy tales or mythology, Spell & the Heart will transport you to other worlds and leave you enchanted. So curl up with a warm blanket and let yourself be swept away by the magic of these timeless tales.

I love going back and reading books I enjoyed as a kid, because not only is it a time capsule of my reading habits, but also it makes me realize the long term effects they had on me. For example, this one here

had the AUDACITY to make me a monster lover. Young me never had a chance.

#the slight crush I had on Nightcrawler did not help either #stupid hot monster guys #vivian vande velde #dragon's bait #fantasy reading #reading

Hello fellow Fable enthusiast, could you recommend me some books that have similar vibes to Fable please? I prefer the medieval village aesthetic of Fable 1 rather than the steam punk Fable 2&3 but I’m open to anything

(Also not that big on the romance tbh, it could be but not the main idea)

Hello dear, unfortunately I'm not exactly an avid reader given my short attention span and it's mostly horror novels for me.

That being said I also love the aesthetic of ye oldi fable and the closest I've come to that is reading brothers grimm and Oscar wild short stories (one of which was narrated by Stephen Fry aka Reaver which adds to the emersion XD)

I can recommend any book writen by Holly Black (she wrote the spiderwick chronicles and the goblins always made me think of hobbes)

I also loved reading the rangers apprentice series tho it's a bit of a commitment with so many books (I think there's about 11 but it's something to keep one busy, aye)

If anyone else wants to add feel free, I myself would love to read more in this genre, I think I've consumed enough psychological horror for a lifetime 😅😂

i firmly hold that it's my duty as a reader to believe it when an author tells me at the beginning of the series that the dragons are gone forever and never coming back. but god it's a struggle sometimes.

#that is: i don't think it's fair to hold that kind of genre knowledge against a specific instance of it #not even because while i've read hundreds of bad fantasy novels someone else might not have read any #but because hm. 'the dragons are gone' is the foundation of a kind of feeling - discovery; renewal; awakening -#there's not a way to get the feeling later on without laying the foundation #so even if the foundation feels like busywork for me the reader #it has to be there in some form or other

I normally read on my lunch breaks at work, but I've had to reserve my reread of A Conjuring of Light for bedtime reading cos I'm literally crying every 50 pages?????

I don't remember being this emotional the first time I read it; god help me when I start Fragile Threads.

I read a good book series and I am once again making it everyone’s problem. This is spoilery and disjointed and unedited, just everything I wrote down while listening.

underrated fantasy thing is when authors want to avoid giving an actual earth year their story takes place so the characters say shit like "back in the Year Of The Skateboarding Dragon" and all the other characters are like ah yes how could we forget the crops were so plentiful the year that dragon did those sweet sweet kickflips
