Recs if you like Heir of Fire...

A list of books with corrupt, evil, or just downright bad governments! I'm not sure how I ended up reading so many of these types of books (prob my love for dystopia) but here I am haha. Most of these will prob include taking down said evil government. I will update this list as I read more books with bad govs.

Eclectic choices of stories to forget life sucks.

Featuring morally gray men, unreliable narrators, emotional damage, dragons, serial killers, fake dating, enemies-to-lovers, and at least 47 books someone claimed “changed their life.” Proceed with caution.

The god tier list

this is the reading order for the Sarah J Maas universe if you want the most emotional damage. if you want to read AB first for TOG series you can. if you want to focus on one series at a time i recommend TOG > ACOTAR > CC so you see the writing progress as you read! happy reading

This list features book covers illustrated/designed by Pennsylvania-based artist Jim Tierney. Tierney's illustrations feature sweeping textures, dramatic lighting, and bold, nostalgic text design, as you will definitely note while scrolling through this list. Please note that in some cases, his work is one of multiple versions of cover art for the same book, so it may appear as a different version here than the one he illustrated. In some cases I have avoided adding specific versions to curb confusion.

Series I'm reading or have read that changed my personality a lil bit.

For those trying to complete all of SJM's books before the next ACOTAR books release!

books i’ve read (and liked) that made me feel the cozy calm (or dark grit) of fall

no rhyme or reason, just ✨vibes✨

**i’m including some cozy fantasy/spooky season/fall-occurring books, but this list is also meant to expand beyond those limited sub-genres to include books i think would hit different if read during fall or majorly incorporate elements i associate w fall like mountains/forests, adventures, murder, small towns, seasons of change/hardship, grittiness, dark academia, pirates, etc

non-lit fic books that made my heart ache from how they perfectly captured some specific aspect of the grieving process in a way that deeply resonated w me (w/out being too depressing to cause actual emotional damage, hence the lack of lit fic)

If he’s brooding, morally gray, and commanding shadows, he belongs on this list—and in my dreams.

People really be fighting wars, breaking curses, and still finding time to fall in love. Respect. I’m just here for the magic and the slow burn.

I primarily get books from the library. These are books I would spend money on to read again.

A super specific reread order to prep for ACOTAR 6 and 7 where Assassin’s Blade novellas are broken up and Empire of Storms and Tower of Dawn are tandem read.

Books where I felt like physically burning while waiting for their hands to touch (it's the best hihhihi)
