Looking for urban fantasy books with a female main character. I want romance (straight or queer), but on the side as opposed to the central plot (AKA not an ACOTAR fan). I like academia settings and cool magic systems.
Books I’ve loved that would like a similar vibe:
– Legendborn cycle by Tracy Deonn
– Scholomance series by Naomi Novik
– Once & Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow
– Invisible Life of Addie Larue by VE Schwab
I can do high fantasy and there are exceptions that I like, but there’s a line where it just gets too excessive for me. I want magic on Earth. I also want people talking like normal people. I want mostly humans and not fairies and elves and dwarves. I prefer modern times.
