Amanda M. Helander

Age Category: Young Adult, New Adult

Genre: Fantasy, Romance

MSWL: Please give me romantic high fantasy in the vein of Diana Wynne Jones and Naomi Novik. I like whimsical, high-magic settings. Dark fantasy is not for me. Jokes encouraged. I am a fan of wizards. Lyrical prose is a nice bonus, but plot is most important.
