Ohohoho...buckle up 8D In no particular order:
- The Tales of Goldstone Wood series by Elizabeth Stengl. Epic and intricate original-world fantasy where you can technically read the books in any order, although I like them in their release order. Amazing characters and really well-done alleghorical touches that feel like a natural part of the world.
- If you like urban fantasy and don't mind occasional bloody violence, check out WR Gingell's City Between series. (I usually dont like much violence but this author does a great job not scaring me off, although the first book does have a bit of graphic detail about a dead guy.) Shes also finished one 5-book spinoff set in the same world and is working on a SECOND 5-book spinoff with completely new characters. Her characters are loveable and quirky and the worldbuilding is unique and there are so many great comedic and emotional moments! A romance angle does come up but not until later in the series, which delighted me because it's hard to find any series this day that doesnt rely heavily on romance. No spice.
- I HIGHLY recommend pretty much anything by Kate Stradling, she does really creative and original spins on fairy tales and some original stories anf her writing is top tier. (The Heir and The Spare is the only one I didnt care for because it involved an insane sister with a torture room, but it ends well.) I have read many of her books multiple times, and my favorites are Goldmayne and The Beggar Prince.
- Christina Baehr's debut Secrets of Ormdale series has three out of five books out and I think the fourth is about to release if it hasnt already. It's set in the English countryside in kind of the Jane Austin era (but it's not a Jane Austin retelling) and involves secret dragons and a plucky heroine who is a writer.
- Tara Grayce's Elven Alliance series is a very sweet arranged-marriage elf/human romance with no spice. It also deals with some PTSD from the elf husband but very tastefully. Highly wholesome! Later books explore other romantic pairings, but they are always spice-free.
- Lost on a Page by David E. Sharp is a delightful fantasy set in the modern day where book characters start realizing they are sentient and the writers are scrambling to deal with the choices they make. The main character is a private eye who teams up with a fantasy trio of a dwarf, an elf, and a lady wizard. It gets very silly at times and the sheer number of characters by book 3 is a bit overwhelming, but its so fun and creative and wraps up the main characters' storylines nicely! One character is a heroine from a "bodice ripper," but nothing crude is focused on.
- If you want a fantastic original dragonrider epic, I insist you read Songs of Chaos by Michael Miller. This one has three books out with a fourth in progress, and I LOVE the characters and the magic mechanics. It also does a great job of establishing a mutually beneficial reason for riders and dragons to bond. The audiobooks of these are also excellent!
I could go on, but this is a lot of info already so I'll stop here XD I hope you'll let us know if you find one you like!
Anyone know of some very very very very low to no spice fantasy books?
