I've been looking for a book to read for a long while. I want a book that is clean in the spicy type of writing, I'm 15 years old. I don't care if the book is full of gore and violence, I don't want it to change the suggestion. Books I've read and liked before are the hunger games, harry potter, and hero's of Olympus. I would like a suggestion to be an adventure with plot twists, fight scenes and such. Thanks I hope my asking isn't too hard or annoying.

Give the Licanius Trilogy by James Islington a go – incredible world building and use of character in my opinion, and its got adventure, plot twists and fight scenes for sure. Enjoy!
Thrones of Glass series is great. The Faithful and the Fallen is quite enjoyable ttoo
Well if you don’t mind gore and violence *Someone You Can Build a Nest In* by John Wiswell is both funny, cute and gory. It centers on a romance but there’s no spiciness at all since both the main character and the love interest are asexual and uninterested in even kissing.
*Iron Widow* by Xiran Jay Zhao is a bit dark and also a bit heavier than most of the books you mention here but also has cool mech fights and lots of plot twists. There is romance but there are no explicit sex scenes or anything.
To anyone who likes Harry Potter I have to recommend *His Dark Materials* by Phillip Pullman because it’s also a fantasy story about an adolescent exploring a magical world and being put in the center of a much greater conflict. Obviously tastes will differ but I personally think it’s superior in every way.
I think you will enjoy the Cradle Series by Will Wight
I would recommend the Farseer trilogy by Robin Hobb.
Theres a couple spice scenes in this series but they’re pretty tame and they serve the plot.
The other series I’d recommend is the first law trilogy. Lots of fighting, great plot overall, from my recollection there is one descriptive spicy scene in the whole series and then there’s some eluding to some spice here and there but nothing explicit.
Outside of Brandon Sanderson I don’t know a lot of Fantasy that doesn’t have some kind spice woven into the plot. I know they exist! I just haven’t read them
A lot of people like the Bartimaeus trilogy. I thought it wasn’t as good as HP, but there was a lot more female character development in the later books and the narrator’s ironic footnotes are fun. To my knowledge, the author is also not problematic.
