As someone who avoids spice, I really appreciate that you explained what your rating is based off. I find most people don't do that and it negates the reason for having a spice rating to begin with.

Glad it’s helpful! I know everyone rates spice levels differently so thought it would be good to clarify!
your spice rating is actually super helpful, especially with the way you explained it. my favorite books are either no spice or 1 and that's how i can take the most perfect recs from you ☺️

Lol I’ve read everyone except Acotar under the romance section, I do agree that the one part in Bride made me uncomfortable too 😭😭 but other than that it was pretty funny. I do love all of the books you mentioned

The cruel prince feels like more traditional farie stories, like the tricksters that people fear to upset. So if you like the more faire mythology it would be good for that.

yeah agreed! I think this is also why it has more of a classics feel.
Oohhh. Love the new spice rating. I have read most of the books on this video and your recommendations are so on point! I just started The Serpent and the Wings of Night. Hopefully it turns out to be a good one.

Glad you like the system! Tbh was not a big fan of serpent and the wings of night, but that’s an unpopular opinion, so you might love it!

Thanks for doing this video. A lot of good suggestions. Your video is a reminder that I should read my first R.F. Kuang book. Also, that I should read my first Sarah J. Maas book. In the latte case, I am somewhat imtimidated by the lengths of the books. I recently read Divine Rivals and loved it. It started Fourth Wing this morning

I feel like you could even include Babel in with the litfic/classics section because of the themes explored and the prose alone. Great recommendations!
