I love the found family trope in fiction 💛 My favorite variation is when a bunch of strangers unite on an epic journey to fight some terrible force, forming unbreakable bonds along the way! I especially love when the characters are affectionate with each other, and have a sense of humor throughout.
Prime examples include the All For the Game series by Nora Sakavic and the Raven Cycle series by Maggie Stiefvater.
The series does not have to be cozy! I’m happy with a healthy dose of violence and/or angst 😊 But I do want it to end with a happy ending. Romance is fine, but not mandatory – I’m much more into the focus being a thrilling plot.
Bonus points for sci-fi or fantasy. Double bonus points for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ characters. ✨
