YA fantasy books with little to no spice but perfect angst

[@Velocilectora]

Loving no spice books, it just feels too intimate and unrelated to the plot. I feel like a stalker when they have too much spicy scenes 😅

[@AliseBrenae]

Me too!!!

[@Spork16]

Exactly! For me, reading spice / sex scenes kinda cheapens the value of the characters and the story the author has woven. And I agree, I also feel like a stalker 😆

[@ScriptedSmiles]

fr i feel like they get in the way of the plot if im being fr most of the time

[@nordstromwayzataschools24]

I feel like the Inheritance game didn’t really have any spice just a little kissing here and there 😅 it’s mostly focused on the plot which is nice but just enough romance to keep me reading ✨

[@grantmckinney5395]

THANK YOU SO MUCH im currently reading the 'this woven kingdom' series and am almost finished, I HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO READ NEXT BUT NOW IMA GO TO THE BOOKSTORE AND GET THIS BOOK👌😃

[@madebydija]

Shatter me is amazing and has thr best subtle spice ive never seen before

[@geegers4316]

Does the entire series not have any spicy scenes?

[@jubsx_]

@@geegers4316the other books have spice

[@livi_lefner]

@@geegers4316 the entire series as you go on does have more than the first book, which is mainly about the MC and her struggles. I still loved the series, and i think the plot is what drew me in.

Just finished Caraval, it was so good😭 the world building was insane

[@adeenafathima3534]

FOR REALL it doesn't deserve the hate its a wonderful read

What’s it abt?

[@adeenafathima3534]

@@Folkwhorestanfoerever I don't remember much but its basically two sisters who dont really have much freedom, and one of them wanted to go this magical fair thing where whoever wins would get to make a wish. One thing leads to another and some stuff happens but i dont wanna spoil. but its really an awesome read definetley try it out!

[@SimplyJordanSlays]

Is there any spice?

[@adeenafathima3534]

@@SimplyJordanSlays Nah, only a few kisses

[@IvyDaIntrovert]

I also love A Curse So Dark and Lonely, there is a bit of spice in the third book, but the author skips time before anything very spicy happens

[@theroseofversailles]

Add Sorcery of Thorns to the list! That book was wonderful and there was no spice at all! A few kisses but the romance was wholesome (and the side plot).

[@justobsessedwithbooks]

I absolutely loved that book!!

[@SofiaSunwebSSO]

Tysm!!! I keep wanting love stories without huge 4 chapter long details of spice, and this is super helpful!!

[@tanyalow3346]

Okay, y’all need to understand th difference between ROMANCE and SPICE. Yes, the shatter me series has romance. No, it does not have spice.

I either have them in my amazon shopping cart of have read them besides 1

shatter me is more of a dystopy though!

[@AudreyHunt-wo1xp]

I clicked on this for recommendations but I’ve already read them all🤦‍♀️

[@zeinahhashem2323]

book 1 of shatter me might not have a lot of spice but the rest do and u cant read 1 without reading the rest

[@Boundtobooks]

I mean you can js leave it at book one thats what i did the ending isnt a big cliffhanger so it didnt make me wanting more

Me after she put the cruel prince: *what*

[@LilianeLil-on8by]

I mean the cruel prince did not have it unlike dance of thieves i meannn gurl that book has a lot of

[@vina36]

It doesn't have much tbh unlike all the other popular fae fantasy books there are barely any and I'm pretty sure the first two in the folk of the air don't have any spice

[@Arshi_Harshita]

Wait-u think it has? Bro are u kidding me? like I hate spice and that's why I love cruel Prince series 😂

[@vina36]

@@Arshi_Harshita I meant the first and second book bc I hadn't read the 3rd when I commented I also hate spice especially in ya books it's actually disgusting when authors Market their books as ya then you read it...

[@Arshi_Harshita]

@@vina36 well i wasn't referring to you but the main commenter, and yess I agree with you the most! The 3rd also doesn't have any, except for a half page and that too close door.

why is shatter me there 😭😭 have u not read ignite me

[@blackpinkistherevolution400]

Shatter me has spice as the series goes on, especially in the last novella Believe Me

[@Authorthings]

Your nails 😍

[@themostslaytasticswiftie]

would shatter me be good for a 12 year old girl? bc i really want to read it but don’t love a lot of spice.

[@HaileyBuskirk]

Tyyy I hate spice books

[@lmao-8856]

Can you do another one of these?

[@Suma.Slayss]

I’ve read all of those books except for the last two 😭 but needless to say I loved those books smm!!! Update: I’ve read the whole divine rivals series and im soon going to read dance of theives!

[@grantmckinney5395]

READ THIS WOVEN KINGDOM ITS SO GOOD😃😃😃👺👺

[@Ilovebooks-12]

Wait wait is shatter me supposed to be little to no spice ?? 😭

[@emmas_lover]

So apparently you’re supposed to read the Caraval series first. How many books are in each? I’ve tried looking at them but haven’t seen what they’re about. If someone can tell me for both series I’d appreciate it

[@Clara11174]

There are three books in both series but you don’t have to read Caraval first. I haven’t read it but I think it’s about two sisters who escape from the island they grew up on and take part in a magical game. And once upon a broken heart is about a girl whose bf marries her sister but she wants to stop the wedding so she makes a deal with a fate. I hope I could help!

[@chickenwingzzzzzz]

Can someone recommend a book with spice but no smut? I’ve looked everywhere and there are no good recommendations! (Spice and smut r different)

[@bellab-lu9md]

I was fully prepared to throw a fit if Divine Rivals wasn’t included lol. Okay not really but I would have promoted the shit out of it in the comments.

[@Alina-o1u]

Does "a thousand boy kisses" have spice?

@@mayah6898 thanks! For the heads up❤️ I’ll definitely read it!

[@Folkwhorestanfoerever]

What’s Carnaval abt?

[@Irene-vz7sw]

Why does people consider 'Shatter Me'...a Fantasy book? I read the book..it's more likely a Dystopian rather than a Fantasy....or am I just tripping? And 'Shatter Me' is a Fantasy?

[@katgreer6113]

no its not idk why people think its fantasy...like I guess cus her touch "kills"? but that's not really much. It really confuses me too. its not fantasy imo.

[@nutm3g12]

Powerless also!

[@hanjisungsleftbuttcheek]

is it just me or do all YA fantasy book have main characters who are ALWAYS 17 a few examples: thiefs gambit-ross shatter me- juliette the folk of the air- jude an ember in the ashes- laia twin crowns- wren/rose AGGGTM- pippa six of crows- kaz inheritance games- avery daughter of the pirate king- alosa

[@katgreer6113]

because for some ppl 16 feels to basic or too young, and 18 is an adult in a lot of english speaking countries like the UK for example. so, 17 is the sweet spot i guess. not too young, not an adult. also stays have the weirdest usernames LOLL
