Amberprice - To the Moon and Back (Life is Strange GMV edit)
"To the Moon and Back" by Savage Garden is a song about a deeply unhappy girl waiting for the right person to take her far away, where she can be happy. Sounds like Rachel Amber.

Napoleonic Historical Fantasy Romance
If you've ever wanted a book that mixes Jane Austen with Naomi Novik's Temeraire novels with the odd echo of Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe novels and some Master and Commander vibes? Plus magic? The Kit Brightling books absolutely do that.
*MASSIVE CAVEAT*: I love these books, but A Swift and Savage Tide sets up a ton of stuff that is absolutely fascinating, but it cliffhangs so bad. So before you sprint out to read these books, be aware that Chloe Neill's website says that only two Kit Brightling books were guaranteed, and any other books in the series depends on sales. So we may never get answers, and uh...that might actually be a tragedy. Especially after getting angsty Rian Grant in leather pants and a pirate shirt. So be warned before we talk Kit Brighting.
Kit Brightling, captain of the ship Diana, is magically aligned with the sea, which honestly just makes her life really difficult because alignment is viewed as immensely sus after Gerard (think Napoleon) had his aligned folks use it to commit a war crime. So everyone is massively suspicious, uncomfortable, and traumatized. This first book is mostly vibes and characters, so there IS plot, but after reading it, honestly the plot didn't stick, the vibes did. And the vibes were strong enough that I was 100% good with that.
The second book balances vibes and plot extraordianrily well, so there was everything I loved about the first book plus a story that pulled me happily along---right to the edge of a cliff. I will be so, so sad if we don't get more Kit Brightling books.
In essence, Captain Brightling and her ship are required to work with Crown Agent and former soldier Rian Grant on missions, and we get some nice rivals to lovers happening with Kit and Rian, shamelessly aided and abetted by the crew of the Diana, because quite frankly, in addition to being wonderful characters, the crew knows a good rivals to lovers when they see it, and they are just as invested in that as the reader is. It's literally the best thing ever because we as readers get to ship Kian (Rit?) right alongside the crew.
Rian Grant makes shipping it even better because he is absolutely drinking the respect women juice, because not only does he have exactly zero doubt that Kit can and will excel in the performance of her duties, he's exactly frustrating enough to put weave mission and emotion together in unfailingly logical ways that make you want to SHAKE him.
Kit is immensely competent, and watching her match competence with an exploration of alignment--because she's correct that society can't just bury it and hope it goes away, it needs to be studied and used safely--is never not a joy. She also gets a really nice balance of badass and human; our girl is HERE for pistachio nougats and she is equally badass in uniform and ballgown.
Literally, the best thing about these books are the vibes, and how cozy the vibes are as you read them. The peices mesh together beautifully, and as a reader you simply float in the world's vibes, enjoying it.
