Stress-induced Fantasy
High stakes, stressful fantasy books that will have you pulling at your hair and biting your nails most of the time. In summary: the very opposite of cozy fantasy. Open for recs!
DISCLAIMER: I haven't read some of these books, so do let me know if a book is unfit for this list!

Thank you for making this list đ I would highly suggest to add the Fireborne saga to the list, it's a story about dragon riders soldiers and how they navigate the games of power playing in their previously-feodal-now-republican country. It's a three books long finished saga, definitely worth to read đ
Ooo, that one is on my tbr! I'll add it!
me finding this list: Oh, so I have a type!
Haha I think it might be my favorite too!
Love this list!! Immediately savedđ©·đ©·
