馃摎 do you have any book recs with a MC who doesn't have a love interest or doesn't end up with the traditional, expected love interest? idc if it's sci-fi, fantasy, realistic fiction, w/ever... also love your blog <3
Most books I read do have romance in them but I have some you might be interested in
No romance:
Vespertine - Margaret Rogerson
This is about a nun with powers connected to ghosts who teams up with an ancient semi evil spirit to stop someone who is creating an army of ghost posessed soldiers. Artemisia generally dislikes being around people and has no love interest, but she does have an interesting bond with the revenant, the spirit she works with.
Not a lot of romance
Witchlands series - Susan Dennard
While most characters in this book do have a love interest, they spend most of the books apart from each other or not really doing anything with romance. The series is set on a continent with three empires and some more countries/territories that used to be at war and are now nearing the end of a twenty year truce. It starts out focusing on Safi, a truthwitch with the power to tell truth from lie. Together with her best friend and Threadwitch Iseult she has to flee when an emperor wants to marry Safi. They are aided by Merik, a Windwitch and prince of a kingdom that's starving and trapped between the empires and hunted by Aeduan, a Bloodwitch who can smell people's blood from across the continent. The series gets a lot more complicated over time with secret histories, magic, etc. I just reread them all in one go (except book 5 which is coming out in a year or so) and I would recommend reading them all after each other as the plot might become too complicated to understand if you forget too much.
Romance that is not as expected
Iron Widow - Xiran Jay Zhao
This book reimagines several characters from Chinese history in a sci-fi dystopian Chinese inspired setting. In this land, a pair of male/female pilots pilot vessels that fight against aliens that try to kill people and a lot of times this ends with the female pilot dying. Zetian wants to take revenge when her sister dies after volunteering to pilot and volunteers herself. She ends up going to battle alongside the male pilot who killed her sister and ends up killing him in the process. This earns her the title "Iron Widow" and she gets paired with the strongest male pilot the land has to offer.

Spoiler alert!
I'm sorry I can't help myself but to draw it, so much pain, so much agony. I cannot bare how she actually feel, and I am literally in tears. I'm halfway through the book, and I have come to the scene where this two thread-sister get saperate again!
You have been warned!!

People are driven by their feelings, so learning to recognize, understand, and even predict such feelings is where true power lies.

Hi quick question!! Can nomatsi only be threadwitches? Or can they have other witcheries as well? I noticed that Owl is an Earthwitch and also a Nomatsi and i got curious because i thought nomatsis were only Threadwitches.
Oh, no! There are the same range of witches in Nomatsis as everywhere else in the Witchlands.
The only thing is that Threadwitches聽can only be Nomatsi. Because they have a special magic. You learn a little about it in Sightwitch. And you鈥檒l learn more in Iseult鈥檚 book. 馃槈
