Wondering if anyone else has read these two "together" or as a comparision? It was recommended to me by someone on here as a better critique of colonialism than Joseph Conrads, so im really interested in seeing how the two compare. Would love to hear peoples thoughts about this, or get other suggestions within the same realm!!

Dramatic battles, tense political intrigue, unique world building...and is that maybe some romance I'm sensing? These books are not Romantasy but focus primarily on the SFF elements. Romance is a subplot and may not appear until later in the series, but when it does, you won't be disappointed.

Tl;dr: dislike my kindle, love my kobo libra colour. What's your favorite ebook reader?
As a 30+ year long reader, I have read many, many physical books (I still buy them 👀), but in the past 5 or so years, I've gone ~50% digital, and I have tried various ebook readers.
I've had a Kindle for a few years and I like a lot of the exclusive authors/books....lots of good indie smut hehe. That's about it tbh 😂 If you sideload your non-amazon books (I have over 2k! 🫣) it's a nightmare to deal with. You have to change the format, can't organize your books on shelves or collections (not even using Calibre!!), the covers get messed up/go missing, and you couldn't update good reads (don't use it anymore so a moot point). Not to mention the fact that they can remove "your" books at anytime! I had a whole series I spent a lot of money on just dissappear with no recompense, no explanation... Just poof!
After that fiasco, I got a Kobo ebook reader last November and I love it 😍 it fixed everything I didn't like about my kindle, and then some. I can freely organize my sideloaded books into series and collections, I can get all the same functionality as native Kobo books, and Calibre is actually useful for beyond just uploading books! Oh, and NO ADS!! There's also detailed reading stats (per book and overall), seamless Overdrive integration (for library books), and (on the libra colour) physical buttons! And they haven't taken any of the books I've bought from them, even though a series I bought was removed from their listings 👏🏾
I still have my kindle (can't get books I bought off it because they use proprietary formats and wizardry that prevents you from doing so 😞), but I exclusively use my libra colour and do not regret switching over
gets off soapbox 📦

Off the top of my head:
Isabel Cañas... Vampires of El Norte, the Hacienda, the possession of Alba Diaz
The Last Tale of the Flower Bride by Roshani Chokshi
White is for witching by Helen Oyeyemi
The whole VC Andrews catalog tbh 😂
Same for Anne Rice, but notably her Mayfair witches series
Anyone have any other books to add?? 🤔
