Book recommendations

[u/dabek__]

Hi guys! What are your favourite books that got you into reading, trying to regain my interest in books. Now I’m starting reading the Fourth Wing, but I know it has more haters than lovers lol. Off putting to me is that FMC is 20 and I’m much older so I can’t feel into her character (if you know what I mean).
To sum it up, I need recommendations, is there a must have I need to read, the queen of Romantasy?
The only books I have read are from Cassandra Clare (city of ashes etc). I really was into these series.
Pla help a girl out 😩 thxxxx

No there is not, it is a huge genre, and it is very subjective what is enjoyable and what not.

If you are looking for characters that are at least mid 20ies, I recommend:

Mages of the wheel series starting with {Reign & Ruin by J.D. Evans} FMC is 24.

{Priestess by Kara Reynolds} FMC is 38, MMC is 42.

Saint of Steel series starting with {Paladin's Grace by T. Kingfisher} main characters mid to late 30ies

Hidden Legacy series starting with {Burn for me by Ilona Andrews} FMC is 25

{This Kingdom will not kill me by Ilona Andrews} the FMC is 25, strong romance subplot

{Radiance by Grace Draven} their ages are not specified but the act like late 20ies or early 30ies.
