I love fantasy, but lately I struggle to find anything descent.
I read the ACOTAR, but it pissed me off so much so many times because of the inconsistencies. I'm actually surprised I went through this at all.
Started now Scythe and it just seems to be too dull – I'm 1/3 through and I've realised I'm not looking forward to anything in that book (no grand scheme laid out, or a scary possible outcome to prevent, idk). It's nice to read in bed though, as I fall asleep super easily.
I want a book that I won't be able to put away, but I'm tired of the flirty romances (just fuck already, okay?) and mistakes in a plot (some irrational things that shouldn't be happening in a given world, based on the previously laid out rules).
I feel kinda burnt out and hopeless that I'm just too picky…

Unfortunately, much like in life we often have to pick between extraordinary sex and some of our other ideals. If you want a world-class plot go read the classics of sci-fi or fantasy. If you want great sex then read books with great sex and realize the books with steamy smut don’t often win Hugo awards.
Also if you find a Hugo Award winner with fantastic smut please let me know.
Ninefox gambit trilogy, Yoon Ha lee (hugo nominated btw)
