•The Lobizona/Cazadora duology by Romina Garber- so well written, amazing protagonist, beautiful world building. Just amazing.
•The Raybearer/Redemptor duology by Jordan Ifueko- I had mad respect for the main character and the whole plot was amazing.
•The Grace Year by Kim Liggett- some of the best writing ever. So immersive. Her other books are good too: the Unfortunates had me in tears.
Honourable mentions:
• The Waking Land Trilogy by Callie Bates: overall really good but the characters were a bit bland. Other than that amazing!
•The silence of the girls/women of Troy duology by Pat Barker- so well written but also so disturbing.
•The Kiss Quotient Trilogy by Helen Hoang- look, I don’t usually like explicit books, but this is genuinely the only good autism rep (as an autistic girl) I have ever seen: and it makes me so happy.
•The Complete Enneagram by Dr Beatrice Chestnut- I know nonfiction probably wasn’t intended on this list but I love enneagram and this is -in my opinion- the best enneagram book out there.
