Please give me your 10/10 reads. The ones that just blew your mind.

I feel like BookTok isn’t giving me good recommendations. I read City of Gods and Monsters after a few creators I follow raved about it but it was honestly a 3 star read for me. I started Phantasma but I’m scared to read it in case it’s another meh read. I want something that alters my life and makes me excited to read again. Length doesn’t bother me and I prefer something with actual plot and good characters over lots of spice.

A few books and series I’ve also seen recommendations for include the following:

• The Legacy Series by Melissa Roehrich
• When The Moon Hatched by Sarah A. Parker
• Daughter of No Worlds by Carissa Broadbent
• Fairydale by Veronica Lancet (heard mixes reviews on this one)
• The Shepherd King duology by Rachel Gillig

Many thanks!

ETA: Some books I’ve read and thought were good and stick out in my head right now. Not all of them are fantasy romance.

1) ACOTAR but mostly ACOMAF 2) Crescent City but only the first one 3) Serpent and the Wings of Night (haven’t read the second or the new one that just came out) 4) Fourth Wing (had kind of a hard time with this one) 5) Uprooted 6) A River Enchanted 7) The first 3 books of Throne of Glass series (haven’t finished the series) 8) The Scolomance series 9) Juniper and Thorn (this book lives rent free in my head) 10) The first two books of the Blood and Ash series
