I think The 100 is also a book, since your a dystopian person :D I personally haven't read them yet, I'm going to watch it first.
I watched the show! I did start the book but it was basically the same so I never ended up reading it |

Seconding Vespertine by Margaret Rogerson, I LOVED that book. If you like Divine Rivals, then the Warm Hands of Ghosts would be another great read. I absolutely adored it and actually bought a physical copy after audiobooking it, it's gorgeous and scratched the itch that Divine Rivals tried and failed to really do well.
I have Divine Rivals a 1*... I liked the concept, but the execution was just not there. Not a lot of detail or a great progression of a relationship imo, and I still have no idea what the plot is lol. But I'll see about your suggestion! |

Have you read Queen Bee by Amalie Howard? That's a good one that I recommend! Another one I liked is A Deadly Education which is a nice trilogy by Naomi Novik |

I've been reading the Powerless series by Lauren Roberts and Once Upon A Broken Heart series by Stephanie Garber. I loved both series and may or may not have already pre-ordered Fearless! I noticed you read the Selection! Have you read any of Kiera Cass's other books? The Siren and The Betrothed/ Betrayed are all three my personal favorites and all have to do with the royal type theme. A Thousand Heartbeats is also really really good. One more and then I'll go haha It isn't fantasy, but Bookish Boyfriends: A Date With Darcy by Tiffany Schmidt is amazing! It is centered around both Romeo and Juliet and Pride and Predjudice. Defenitely a 5 star from me! |

Okay good so I can be a little mean about DR I just didn't want to hurt any feelings but the first book fell on it's face and the second book was bonkers and I Do Not understand the hype. Warm Hands of Ghosts is EXCELLENT rebound. World War 1, some romance, light fantasy elements but the vibes are excellent and the prose is gorgeous. |

Lmao that's hilarious. I'm not even bothering with book 2, it's not worth it. I read Five Survive (3*) over the weekend and I'm about halfway through The Song of Achilles (4*-5* currently). I'll give all your other suggestions a look too! |

Two of the best books I have ever read came out fairly recently. 'Where the Crawdads Sing'. Real life distopian! Not one person has said they did not enjoy this and it takes you a whole new place + a bit of murder mystery. 'The Nightingale'. Women in 2nd world war France. Exceptional, frightening, exciting, sad and forgiving. I was the most avid fantasy sci-fi reader. Slowed down now, seem to have read it all. Maybe you have not read 'Palace' by Katheren Kerr? I went to read it again and found it had fallen apart and pages missing. P.s. Looking at the suggestions with great interest. P.p.s. Currently reading Dante's 'Devine Comedy'. I am on the 5th level of hell, and going down. Felt I should try hard to fill this historical hole. The major work of fiction of the 13th century. |
