I read The Cruel Prince years ago. I absolutely loved Cardan’s character, Jude’s female rage, the plot, and the world-building. The Cruel Prince is actually the book that got me back into reading.

My tastes have evolved since then: I often find the worlds, characters, and romances in YA romantasy a bit too shallow. I enjoy discovering deep, complex characters and intricate, thrilling plots.

I’d love to get back into romantasy and find a book like The Cruel Prince again—a character like Cardan who makes me feel that same excitement and obsession—even though I’m older now and a lot more demanding as a reader.

I’m not a fan of spice. I don’t mind one or two scenes if they genuinely serve the story.

For context, I’m not a fan of SJM. I didn’t enjoy A Court of Thorns and Roses or Throne of Glass (sorry). I loved the action and world-building in Crescent City 1, but I hated Crescent City 2 because the 🌶️ and the testosterone-fueled, perpetually-in-heat males took up far too much space (please don’t hate me 🙏).

In general, I don’t like love triangles. I can tolerate them if they’re very well written or if the endgame love interest is obvious. But if the heroine is genuinely in love with two guys at the same time, I tend to enjoy the reading experience much less.

I also really enjoyed the world and the character of Jacks in Once Upon a Broken Heart.

Thank you for your help!

Bonus points for books that are available in French (VF) and in pocket size.

J'ai lu Le Prince Cruel des années auparavant. J'ai adoré le personnage de Cardan, le female rage de Jude, l'intrigue et l'univers. C'est Le Prince Cruel qui m'a redonné goût à la lecture.

Mes goûts ont évolué : je trouve régulièrement les univers/personnages/romance de la romantasy YA trop superficiels. J'aime découvrir des personnages profonds et complexes et des intrigues recherchées et palpitantes.

J'ai bien aimé l'univers et le personnage de Jacks dans Il était une fois un cœur brisé. Six of crows était mon roman préféré, il y a quelques années.

J'aimerais me remettre à la romantasy, retrouver un roman comme Le Prince Cruel et un personnage comme Cardan, qui me font vibrer. En dépit du fait que j'ai grandi et que je suis plus exigeante.

Je ne suis pas fan du spicy. Ça ne me dérange pas si c'est une scène ou deux et que ça apporte quelque chose à l'intrigue.

Pour information, je ne suis pas fan de SJM. Je n'ai pas aimé ACOTAR ou The Thrones of Glass (désolée). J'ai adoré l'action et l'univers de Crescent City 1, mais détesté Crescent City 2 parce que le 🌶️ et la testostérone des mâles en rut prenaient trop de place (me détestez pas, please 🙏).

En principe, je n'aime pas les triangles amoureux. Ça peut passer si c'est bien écrit ou si le love interest est évident. Si l'héroïne est amoureuse de 2 mecs en même temps, je prends peu de plaisir durant ma lecture.

Bonus pour les romans disponibles au format poche.

Merci pour votre aide !

Bonjour, je suis à la recherche d'un RPG, historique ou d'heroic fantasy, dans lequel chaque action a un véritable impact et où l'on peut réellement rôle-play.

J'aimerais un jeu où mes actions ont des conséquences concrètes sur le monde, les personnages et le déroulement de l'aventure, au-delà des choix de dialogues. Par exemple, le fait que s'attaquer à un NPC implique d'être recherché et qu'il ne respawn pas, etc.

J'ai beaucoup joué à The Witcher 3 et à Baldur's Gate III. J'ai entendu parler de Kingdom Come : Delivrance, mais je ne sais pas quoi en penser.
J'aime aussi beaucoup les jeux où tu peux t'inventer une vie en dehors des quêtes principales.

Si possible, j''aimerais trouver un jeu jouable sur la Switch 2 (pour pouvoir jouer en voyage)

Avez-vous des recommandations ? Merci 😊
