Anyone have any recommendations for fantasy novels that have come out in the last 2-3 years with court intrigue or a general setting of royalty/nobility? Adult, not YA.
Okay so I feel like the worst thing about trying to find a comp title is that a lot of court intrigue books are basically like “what if everything was terrible” and my story is like “what if things were only normal bad but made you look at all the normal bad stuff, and also it was a shoujo manga”.
To be clear this is not a “please stop sending me recommendations” as much as just loud screaming in the direction of the concept of comp titles.

Why??? Can I not???? Think of a freaking comp title?????
@hailedloco if you don’t mind sharing, what’s the fantasy/magic element you’re trying to comp? I finally got back into reading over the last couple of years and would love to try to help (and/or other followers might also have ideas)
I’m basically trying to comp magic that is 1) everyday magic (used for things like car security and controlling air conditioning and making cool clothing) and/or 2) magic that is studied academically (like at a university level rather than the Harry Potter-esque studying only until you become an adult).
I don’t necessarily need to comp both parts of the magic, but I want my comp title to be a fantasy that’s more that type of magic than, say, magic that’s only used militarily or that’s only used by a very elite set of people.
