    Hi! obviously I'm looking for some good novels recommendations, something with a very compelling plot that keeps you glued to the pages. Something that also has strong and interesting characters, maybe a developing romance with some angst along the way (no smut).
    Maybe scifi, maybe fantasy, maybe a thriller/investigative?

    for reference, I've just read "this is how you lose the time war" and, while e liked it, I was a little disappointed about the lack of character development and plot (beside the random missions that I didn't really care about, an actual plot started like 40 pages to the end).

    Let me know if something comes to mind!

      If We Were Villians by M.L. Rio is a mystery/dark academia I absolutely loved. A big part of that was how invested I was in the characters.
