tbh probably my favorite book. long as hell, deeply weird. an alternate history set in a 19th century england where magic once existed and has returned just in time for the napoleonic wars.

nothing more i hate than fantasy books overcome with elf peen. so you should read the priory of the orange tree (lgbt characters, yes multiple, beautiful world building, delicious descriptions, very low spice but when it’s there it’s actually tasteful and pleasant, dragons also). i also have recommend this one million times and i’ll never stop: between two fires. medieval horror with angels and demons and plague and river monsters. too good

i don’t read much, but i would say this series is pretty similar in tone and style! it takes place in 1821 England where magic and fantasy elements exist, and the way the author writes just feels like you’re there with the characters. it’s one of my favorite series and was the only thing that surpassed my love for song of achilles (if that’s possible)

4 parallel Londons in a world of elemental magic. One of my favorite series and go-tos to recommend. A fascinating world with an amazing cast of characters. V.E. Schwab started a sequel series last year, and that first book is good too!

like you feel uncomfortable wearing a backpack because you will probably hit other people and/or a counter and/or the wall every time you turn. the difference between the line of people waiting to order and the cluster of people waiting for their drinks needs to be extremely unclear

i think the main reason ive been able to keep up a relationship with my friends from home is that we play dungeons and dragons together. even when we're all busy and end up not playing for like 2 months, having those semi-regular calls is huge. also, having that common touch-point of the game and our characters is great while our lives and other interests are going in different directions. ofc this is probably only applicable if you and your friends are nerds
