I can't fully explain why the Outlander series and the All Souls books scratch the same itch in my brain but they do.
If I try to drill it down, the best thread I can find is sweeping romance + high-stakes plot + that fated lovers/"we are inevitable” intense chemistry + a tinge of academic vibes/the historical + supernatural/fantasy elements but grounded in the real world.
somebody help me find something that gives me those same feelings!
A Winter Sea came close-ish and I enjoyed it but it didn't quite hit the spot.
