10/10 fantasy standalones
THE enemies to lovers that started it all
Jurdan<3
The world-building and the accurate faeries are amazing. Fell in love with Elphame with this book. Please give it a shot. Jude is a badass and not a reliable author and I live for that.
The Cruel Prince
The favourite of many. It's addictive, and you CANNOT stop reading it. Jude and Cardan have my heart. Be prepared for the ending.
The Wicked King
My favourite of the series. I cried at the ending; I think it's beautiful, touching, and a great way to end the saga.
The Queen Of Nothing
SOOO NECESSARY TO REED. It gives so much context to Cardan's background. After reading this, reading cruel prince becomes a completely different experience, I recommend looking at the clues again after reading this one.
How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories
IM SO EXCITEDDDDD FOR THIS. New stories from elfhame including a Cardan's POV from when Jude was in the Underseaaaa. You can pre-order it through this link.
A Conspiracy of Charming Monsters: Illustrated Tales
The perfect fairytale
EVAJACKS
I live for jacks and evangeline. The UK version is gorgeous. It feels just like a magical fairytale you used to read when you were little. Full of magic and whimsy.
Once Upon a Broken Heart
This one will break your heart. It's heartbreaking and seductive at the same time. The vampie scenes are iconic. The ending…chef’s kiss.
The Ballad of Never After
Again, the last is my favourite. The yearninggggg. Give me a real-life Jacks, please.
A Curse for True Love (Once Upon a Broken Heart)
EVAJACKS NOVELLAAAAA is also coming out this month. It's going to be so gooddd. You can pre-order through this link.
The Mirror of Infinite Endings: A Companion
Howl and Sophie, but make it faerie
My second favourite blonde of all time
Soo whimsical and comforting. It has folklore-accurate faeries… MY FAVOURITE.
Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries
Made me want to visit the Austrian Alps.
Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands
It's a breath of fresh air. If you need a cosy, whimsical fantasy full of magic and wholesome relationships, read this whole saga.
Emily Wilde's Compendium of Lost Tales
10/10 fantasy standalones
Incredibly magical standalones I love
THE ORIGINALS. Love the relationship dynamics. I’ve only read the first one of this case, now I’m interested in the rest.
World of Howl Boxed Set: Howl's Moving Castle
This book took everything I loved about Alice and gave me more to love. If you love Alice's adventures in Wonderland, you HAVE to read this. But be careful, it is extremely heartbreaking and it will make you depressed for a while :)
Heartless
My favorite story since I was a kid. Funny that some of my most beloved are heavily inspired by this book🤍 the drawings are beautiful and compliment the story pretty well.
Alice in Wonderland 1865 Edition w/ Tenniel
I love all the symbolism and the poetry. The illustrations are the best part, bringing the story to life.
Through the Looking-Glass: 1871 Classic Edition
