The Empress of All Seasons by Emiko Jean

Each generation, a competition is held to find the next empress of Honoku. The rules are simple. Survive the palace's enchanted seasonal rooms. Conquer Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall.

Torn between duty and love, loyalty and betrayal, vengeance and forgiveness, the choices of Mari, Taro, and Akira will decide the fate of Honoku in this beautifully written, edge-of-your-seat YA...

LOW Volume 3: Shore of the Dying Light

LOW Volume 3: Shore of the Dying Light is a story of disillusionment, both clinging to & fleeing from hope. I started this series last year and it’s not for everyone, but if you like dark and frequently depressing sci-fi set underwater, check these out.‬

CWs for the series so far:
Death, mass death/massacre, murder, gaslighting/general mindfuckery, parental death.

I like this series, but “enjoy” doesn’t feel like the right word. Glad I read them, but they aren’t fun, exactly.
