Very important: NOT romantasy. A romantic subplot in the fantasy or sci-fi is alright but it cannot be a main focus of the story to make it into a romantasy.
The kid I'm asking for is a teen boy who doesn't want "sappy crap" in his story. And the preference for new as in the last year is because he is an avid reader and if it isn't 2024-2025 he probably has read it already.
