Hii
So I read shatter me (book 1) and it was so bad that it almost put me into another slump.
Anyway I digress🤧
Please recommend some books (preferably fantasy) with mmc's who YEARN. (Im talking abt jasad heir level of yearning, btw)
I'm in desperate need of help😔

I'll comment

message 3: by Zoe (new)

Zoe Continue reading the shatter me series the first book isn’t great but trust me it gets SOOOO much better


message 4: by Priya (new)

Priya I haven't finished reading it yet but I think this woven kingdom could be similar :)) or maybe The Red winter by Cameron Sullivan and The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow !!


message 5: by Isabelle (new)

Isabelle Book 2/3 of the shatter me series when you get Warner yearning 😛😂 But if you don’t want to continue, the Woven Kingdom series by that same author is a little more mature and has an MMC who is the definition of yearning for like 3 straight books

And I completely forgot the winners curse and the hurricane wars, (besides obvious choices like six of crows, cruel prince and the prison healer)

message 20: by karouzaa ۶ৎ (new)

karouzaa ۶ৎ ouu i see u need yearning men 🤭

• Folk of the air which isnt that big on the romance plot but when it is.. IT HITSSS

• Phantasma 🤭


message 21: by Lidia (new)

 Lidia The Other Bennet Sister, yearning check but is not a fantasy.


ιƒяαн ꨄ︎ the serpent and the wings of night by carissa boardbent ; SO FKN GOOD! he is the definition of a YEARNER

message 26: by phideɭia (new)

phideɭia OH WAIT. the infernal devices!!!!!


message 27: by Em (new)

Em "Yearn"--lots of different types. But The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon series has lots of all types.

The Lover by Marguerite Duras


message 28: by yas reads (new)

yas reads listen. i know you hated shatter me and this is technically by the same author but TOTALLY DIFFERENT VIBES. The Woven Kingdom series has the best yearning i have EVER EVER EVER read! (however if you want fast pace right off the bat, this one isn't for you - they have a lot of vibes and book one may be a sit-through)


sᴀɴᴀ✮⋆˙ [ia] MMC who yearns.....?🤔 hmm ig u might be talking about Aaron Warner
Before anything else, I'll recommend you to continue with the series (atleast the first novella which is from Aaron's pov)

But it's alr if u don't wanna
I haven't read many books but you can go for OUABH


message 30: by Princess (new)

Princess Thank you for this post, I needed a real yearner to read about I love these recs!

message 33: by Yui ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ (last edited Jun 18, 2026 10:55AM) (new)

Yui ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ Gods and Monsters by Amber V Nicole (the first book is The Book of Azrael). They’re enemies to lovers and he’s such a yearner for her later on in the series. Hope you haven’t read it yet!


message 34: by Hayaa (new)

Hayaa Zodiac Academy is lowkey good.
Assistant to the Villan was cute
Not necessarily yearning yearning but the Renegades series and Kingdom of the wicked is a good shot in the dark🙂


message 35: by Rosh (is back & catching up slowly!) (last edited Jun 18, 2026 12:09PM) (new)

Rosh (is back & catching up slowly!) The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow - It has nothing but yearning IMHO.

Disclaimer: I have no idea who Jasad Heir is. The rec is strictly based on your need for 'yearning'. 😆

Hope you smash that reading slump soon, Yuvi!


message 36: by Lili (new)

Lili Divine rivals or assistant to the villain for sure!


message 37: by Kimberly (new)

Kimberly I don’t read much fantasy, and few fantasies have blown me away... But...

Have you read 'Fawkes' by Nadine Brandes? It's amazing! The characters, the plot, the magic system... The main character's deepest longings... They hit, for me. I bought a copy for my closest friends, after re-reading it twice in the same month! I don’t re-read books as a rule. 🤭

No others come off the top of my head, but I'll think about it!


⪩༏⪨ aurelia ⪩༏⪨ Sorcery of thorns!


message 39: by Mimo ;3 (new)

Mimo ;3 As one part of the “Cyrus of Nara” cult it would criminal for me to not recommend you this woven kingdom. Girl trust me on this I didn’t exactly love shatter me but this book is my entire soul and being.


message 40: by cami!! (new)

cami!! THE PRISON HEALER‼️‼️
one of my favorite books ever🥹The Prison Healer


message 41: by butteafirst (new)

butteafirst •Divine Rivals
•Fourth Wing
•The Prison Healer


✮`,— maddie .ᐟ.ᐟ Wait, wait, wait, I NEED you to read Fear the Flames by Olivia Rose Darling!!!! It was a very close five-star for me, and Book Two (Wrath of the Dragons) was almost a six-star read. I will forever recommend this series; it's so good, and let me tell you, the MMC is the epitome of yearning. 🙈😫


message 43: by Nysha (new)

Nysha  (•˕ •マ.ᐟ the same thing happened to me 😭for like 5 months i couldn't read anything because of that book, I recommend the daughter of smoke and bone!

message 46: by Reynita (new)

Reynita ★ The Night Reader ★ Ahahaha 😭 sorry to hear that Shatter Me didn’t work for you. I mean, frankly speaking, I was only there with the whole Shatter Me Trilogy because of Aaron Warner 🤫 Juliette pissed me off.

Anyway please read:

Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi
The Wrath and The Dawn by Renee Ahdieh
Flame in the Mist by Renee Ahdieh


message 47: by Aroush (new)

Aroush ♡ PLEASEeeee ... I'm BEGGINGGG for you to read the once upon a broken heart trilogy if you haven't read it .... i recently read it and it pulled me right out of a book slump
