high school english (90s baby edition)
you might have read some of these if you were in grade 7-12 in the 2000s. (obviously this will vary wildly based on where you grew up)

If you're a completionist, read in this order. Otherwise you can start with The Liveship Traders Trilogy or The Rain Wild Chronicles, but make sure you save Fitz and the Fool for last.

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.

90% review: cozy but deftly handles so much weighty emotion, my jam. possibly a 5 star. 100% review: ACTUAL TEARS, 5 STARS

I enjoyed the first half a lot, when Kiela was more prickly. Once the power of friendship and community started to win her over, it started to feel cheesy.
Also didn’t help: the audiobook narration started to grate once all the stressful stuff started happening, so the last 20% was rough listening.

3.5 stars. It was funny. It handled the serious topics well given the book’s overall a lighthearted tone.
I like how the relationship develops but there wasn’t enough oomph for the romance to be a new favourite. I needed more yearning. Twas missing that ‘je ne sais quoi’
