It may take a long time before I dip into romance or smut bc of trauma. So please its very important for me to find cleaner work until I can rebuild my sense of self.
Spinning silver by Naomi Novik (no smut or romance) Theft of Swords by Michael by Michael Sullivan (no romance, great series)
Hope you enjoy it!! : )
I can highly recommend The Chronicles of the Troop series by Colin Darney, starting with Resthaven. Its building up into a very interesting epic fantasy series without being dark or overly gruesome. There are 3 or 4 books out with the next one due out later this year. There's a gentle romance between two of the main characters but its a sideline at best. I'm really enjoying it so far.
I agree! Sometimes it feels as though the smut is the main appeal and the story is left on the back burner.
Thank you guys for the recs. Also any older books are fine too.
the shadowhunter universe by cassandra clare it's ya there is romance but it's not the main plot shatter me by tehereh mafi but it's more a dystopian book

Recent one I read would be One Dark Window, the Shepard series. it’s a duology
The Jinn DaughterA stunning debut novel and an impressive feat of storytelling that pulls together mythology, magic, and ancient legend in the gripping story of a mother’s struggle to save her only daughter
keeper of enchanted rooms :) it's a super cute fantasy series.
It's for a kind of younger audience, but I really enjoyed the Charlie Bone series by Jenny Nimmo growing up.
Harry Potter(never too old to read it, in my opinion everyone needs to read it), the Grishaverse(Shadow And Bone(trilogy), Six Of Crows(duology), King Of Scars(duology), plus other books that goes along the lines(quite a few), Percy Jackson And The Olympian’s, I really like these series and a lot of other people do too, hope you’d like them!
gryphon insurrection. it's a creature fantasy with griffin pov.there are romances but they're minor and not too important to the plot. there's also no smut or swearing.
I'd say the violence is around warrior cats level, being it's not too graphic but it gets the point across.
they're technically adult books but read as young adult fiction due to the clean content.
(view spoiler)
Thanks for the recommendations guys!

It's been a very long time since I've read anything fantasy. I was discouraged from reading as a kid. I used to read a lot. I grew up in a cult. Iykyk reading is dangerous...
I've read part of the wheel of time series. That was the last one I picked up but it was only at book 5 at the time.
