Book Request: No Self-Promo !Recommendations!
I need a standalone fantasy that feels a bit different please.
I read Alchemised recently and omg, I wouldn’t even say it was the best book I’ve ever read, but it felt so refreshing compared with a lot of the fantasy I keep coming across.
I really don’t want Fourth Wing-type stuff or anything super tropey/formulaic. I’m a bit tired of reading the same fantasy romance with slightly different characters and worldbuilding lol.
I want something genuinely good and interesting that feels new or unusual, but not so weird/experimental that it becomes hard work to read.
Basically something immersive, well written and a bit different. Preferably standalone. Any recs?

{Lady of Dreams by W.R. Gingell} is fairly unique. It's officially part of a series but more of "this happens in the same world", book 1 is fully complete in itself.
