Some of my favourite books are The Locked Tomb Series, The Scholomance series. and The Rook by Daniel O'Malley
I love a book that has a dark tone but in which the protagonist makes me laugh and love them so much. Myfanwy, El, and Gideon all do that so well and are all absolutely hilarious to me. Layering strong emotions on top of that makes it even better so really love the emotion that the Locked Tomb series and Scholomance bring to me in their later books. I do prefer series! but not ones that are over 8 books long
Books that I see commonly suggested that I've already read:
– Murderbot series (enjoyed)
– The Ninth House
– The Incandescent
– Dungeon Crawler Carl
– Six of Crows (love this series!!!!!!)
– The Lies of Locke Lamora (meh about)
– Saint's Death's Daughter
– The Devils
– Traitor Baru Cormorant (also love this series!!!!)
– Most things by Naomi Novik, T Kingfisher, NK Jemisen, Robert Jackson, Bennett
(ive also wanting to read something that makes me agonize and beat my fists against the floor like Song of Achilles and Traitor Baru Cormorant and The Locked Tomb and Crowns of Nyaxia so the more emotion the better!!!)
