The book tells of an estranged nobleman returning home to the place of his youth and becoming a tutor for a cursed household. Just… don’t grab it first if you are only looking for positive vibes this Valentine’s Day.ģ) The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold – Chalion is a slow burn that you won’t be able to finish in a day, but is very much worth your time and worthy of a top pick in the romance category. To top it all off, the book is standalone and ends with an incredible climax that feels both thematically satisfying and gripping to read. The dialogue is witty, and the situations characters find themselves in are often hilarious and heartwarming. It helped me grow a little as a person, which is, in my opinion, the single greatest trait a book can have.
I found Lions asking me to think about smart questions I had never considered before, such as “what are the many forms love can take?” and found it to be a very thought-provoking and contemplative book. The story is just heart-achingly beautiful and feels like it speaks to good people trying to be good in situations where there are no good options. I deeply love every single one and Kay shattered my heart at least five times over the course of the book. The characters in Lions are frankly phenomenal. It’s a story about the multifaceted power of love for both good and bad. While there is no singular romance plot to elevate and speak about, the entire story and characters are all motivated by their love of their partners and family. 5) The Lions of al-Rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay– Lions is one of the top Quill to Live books as a whole, but it has a unique and wonderful take on romance.
