Some favourite authors: Lois McMaster Bujold, KJ Charles, T.Kingfisher (I've not read all of hers, so recommendations from her back list are fine), Sarah Rees Brennan, Nathan Burgoine, Courtney Milan.
Any suggestions? |
We share a number of fave authors and overlap pretty thoroughly in genre tastes, so: Kimberley Lemming! Her "That Time I Got Drunk And..." series is delightful fluff and nonsense, a hot mess of funny fantasy romance smut. I can't remember particularly gruesome violence, but that's not a dealbreaker for me so it's _possible_ I've forgotten. There is violence, but it's not the full focus of the book, and the vibes are not grimdark or unremitting.
ETA: Probably the best way I can think of to elaborate on this is to quote this review, by Becca on GR, for That Time I Got Drunk And Saved A Demon:
"I'm sorry? A fantasy romcom that is ACTUALLY funny and has a Black woman lead? And there's buckets of nachos? And a lesbian centaur?
Give me a million books in this series please. This author is an insta-buy for me now."
If you check it out and think it might not suit... there's always Morning Glory Milking Farm, for complete bonkers.
