so the title says it all, I used to read religiously as a kid and loved the fantasy/sci-fi section, I’ve probably read every notable young adult book in those genres that came out before 2016 but I know next to nothing about what’s good right now.
I’m an adult now and I want to get back into reading but have discovered most of the fantasy books I read now have a heavy focus on sexual interactions (I know it’s probably my fault for reading from the adult section). I don’t mind these when they’re only one chapter a book, but I really don’t like when they just become sex scenes for the sake of sex scenes without contributing to the plot. I recently read ‘The Fourth Wing’ which I mostly enjoyed, but I found it hard to make it through it’s sequel, ‘Iron Flame’, because of how frequent the heated scenes became. Probably looking for something similar to that just without as much spicyness? I’ve also read the entire dune series which was probably one of my favourites. I liked the attention to detail and world-building, so something similar to that would be good too!
sorry if I wrote too much, I’m excited to hear your suggestions 🙂
