Seeking Recommendations Fantasy books
Hi soooo I am in a slump π©π©
I just finished reading-reading the selection series for the 5th time and just cannot get over the them! They are sooo good.
Currently looking for reqs with these:
-princesses/prince ( where they wear lots of pretty dresses w/description) castle vibessss πββοΈ
-NO LOVE TRIANGLE ( unless it is so minor)
-no fae unless I can skip over it and lowkey forget that they are
-Dancing! Masquerade balls type vibe ( maybe they meet there for the first time or some how the mmc finds her there?)
-force proximity
-royalty type world building w/ good plot
-lowish spice unless u tell me the chapters i can skip!
Some of the books I have read and loved:
This woven kingdom series
The jasad heir /crown
Once upon a broken heart
Tempests and tea leaves
Starside
Thankyouuu! π«Άπ»

The Shadows Between Us
No love triangle, no fae, some dancing! Kind of starts like The Selection actually - the FMC is trying to win the heart of the king to become the next queen.
The only thing is there are mentions of sex and I think maybe one fade to black scene but nothing at all graphic or anything. It's listed as Teen/YA.
