The Levanthria series by A P Beswick are good. There are 6 books in the main series (starting with A Forest of Vanity and Valour). The 1st 4 books focus on different characters and the last 2 are the end story.

The cards used in One Dark Window and Two Twisted Crowns - a series of cards each with a different magic ability that anyone can use - but use them too much and there are consequences

One Dark Window/Two Twisted Crowns are a pair of fantasy romance (a little spice in each but emphasis on romance). It’s a fantasy gothic setting and the magic system is from a set of 13 cards, each with a different power with a cost for use. Very well done.

Same - loved them both so much - loved the cards and magic. It was a journey I didn’t know I needed!

I second this for sure - it’s just 2 books - One Dark Window and Two Twisted Crowns - but I read it hem both back to back and wish I could read them for the first time again

Went straight on my list to get as I’ve just finished the Shepherd King books and fell in love with them.

Surely nothing starts counting until Dec 1st?

I see weird moods - and think “inspiration for new stories”?

Wait - Flying Tiger are selling gelatinous cubes? Must stop by on way to train one evening

We spotted some recently delving through crisp packets - 48 hours after an order of non-lethal traps and half a bag of ready salted crisps and 4 little critters have a new life in a huge park nearby…..
