Nearly finished my re-read. Apollo is back as a god and visiting the waystation and talks to Georgina again.

What i don't get is...how can he still not confirm or deny that she's his daughter? He is back to full-power, and if we go back innther series' Percy made the gods promise to claim all their children. So logically they should be able to know immediately if a child is theirs or not...

Okay folks, now that the app has launched on Android, and that app finally pops up in the Canadian Play Store if you write "Pagebound social book tracker" (sometimes "... trackers" because it is being extra finicky), my best friend has finally agreed to join!

Her username is Taryannasauras, and as you'll know from her bio, she likes fantasy, "Just fantasy. Ideally no, or little romance..."

She and I have been having a discussion about romantasy for ages that basically boils down to we are happy for folks who like it, but it just isn't what we are looking for.

So, I beg of you: recommend your favourite fantasy books that don't cross over into romantasy. If there is a romance side plot - that is fine! but should not be the main focus.

Bonus points if the lead is a woman/non-binary , and/or if it is queer, but neither are hard asks.

(Special note: neither of us are prudes; we are both incredibly sex positive! We are very happy for the folks who love reading sex scenes. We can even read them. But we value plot way above sexual content. Bestie most ends up skipping those parts to get back to the plot, which is why I wanna find stuff she can read all the way through.)
