Stories about Stories
This list is for stories about stories, including the more obvious "books-about-books", but also books about who gets to tell stories, what versions of stories become "truth", and other story-based themes. *While not intended to be strictly fantasy, this list does lean heavily into this genre due to my personal reading tastes. **Suggestions welcome!

What's your ideal book length?
OR
If you don't care about the above, what is your ideal chapter length?
For me, I think around 400 pages is my sweet spot, and chapters between 10 and 15 pages let's you get into a nice flow without feeling like you cant take a break.
Edit: I forgot to include: what is your ideal audiobook length?

Whenever a book that has otherwise no indication it takes place in our world uses the same months. "The fae ball is in March" like come on ๐ญ number them if you have to, damn
kinga commented on shelbyfayy's review of The Wolf King
Great Value Rhysand and Dollar General Tamlin but make them werewolves and totally obsessed with cardboard cutout with "BRAT" as her only personality trait, Bargain Basement Feyre. No one had any actual personality or character, barring a hint in Great Value Rhysand, and Bargain Basement Feyre was one of the most infuriatingly insipid heroines I've had the displeasure to read about in years. I should've DNF'ed in the very beginning when I realized this book was just beat-for-beat copying the tropes that made ACOTAR successful, as if that were all that goes in to writing a book, and spelling out every plot point like the author thinks we're as stupid as the story she's telling. And the repetition!!!! I rebuke it in the name of Jesus. This shit is what's destroying the fantasy romance genre as a whole, and it's why the genre is being looked at as little more than corn. AND THE SPICE WASN'T EVEN GOOD.

Okay so I am a first time twilight reader. I remember watching the movies when they came out andโฆ not loving them. But I just finished chapter 3 and Iโm kind of vibing with it? Iโm taking the book for what it is and so far itโs a fun read.
Also, Iโm reading the beautiful boxed hardback edition with gold end pages and it is absolutely stunning!
