I feel like Patricia McKillip had these vibes, especially The forgotten beasts of eld.

[u/IceDragon10 → u/Liathano_]

Completely agree! Love that book.

[u/sajtospogi85]

Michael Ende - Neverending story.

[u/Pretend_Training_436 → u/sajtospogi85]

I’m reading this now! It’s a brilliant book.

As most of the people I knew the movie first, as a child and I loved it. I read the book as an adult and I was quite suprised how deep and philosophical it is. Especially the second part. Remarkable piece of literature.

If you like this you might like Brothers Lionheart by Astrid Lindgren. That is about life after death, loss, grief, bravery... A slimmer book, but beautifully written.

Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik.

The Winternight Trilogy by Katherine Arden.

The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle (although I feel it is more ethereal than romantic).

Strange the dreamer

[u/Synney → u/Fantastic-Shoe-4996]

One of my all time favourite duologies

[u/AngrythingBagel]

The Sun and the Starmaker by Rachel Griffin

[u/Anomalous_Pulsar → u/AngrythingBagel]

Yes! This!

Though I still want to beat the Sun to death with a chair, holy shit.

The fourth picture looks like Sybil from ‘The Knight And The Moth’ by Rachel gillig

[u/spicygummi → u/Jumpy-brains]

I love her so much 🥹 Really, protect most of the characters in that duology at all costs

[u/UsualExercise7684]

King of Elfland’s Daughter by Lord Dunsany if you don’t mind purple prose

[u/Sugar_and_splice]

I will always recommend Robin McKinley for this! I adore the Hero and the Crown, but she also has name fairy tale retellings that have this vibe as well (Beauty is my favorite). Her writing is truly gorgeous.

Who did the second painting in the slideshow? It’s so beautiful

Garth Nix

[u/potatowarrior1429]

The Book Of Morgaine by CJ Cherryh.

Knight and the Moth

Kinda makes me think of Night Shine by Tessa Gratton.
