Re: OP here

Thank you very much for the recs! Will definitely be checking out the Administration and Undesirable, and may check out Josh Layton and the Infected series (though mysteries aren't usually my thing). ...I was thinking of checking out Cut & Run. Think I'll move that further down the list.

If you're looking for classic fantasy recs, take a look at this list. It has a lot of the fantasy novels I enjoyed as a young teen. I can't promise sophistication because....young teen and all, but maybe you'll find something you like?

From that list: Luck in the Shadows is right at the tip top - I loved the first two but got a bit bored with the third. But I was also about 16 when I read them, I think. Swordspoint by Ellen Kushner is also recommended. I was completely obsessed with Lackey's Last Herald Mage series (starts with Magic's Pawn) when I was about 13-14, and am a bit afraid to revisit and ruin precious memories. Vanyel was a very romantic, tragic, and misunderstood character, yo. Also really liked The Knight of Ghosts and Shadows by the same author - first threesome book I ever did read.

I loved Tanya Huff's books as a teen (The Fire's Stone, Gate of Darkness, Circle of Light) and am pretty sure they'd hold up well as lighter reads. Dancers of Arun was fascinating to teenage me due to the incest, and I liked Anne Rice's vampire series (up to Memnoch) because Lestat was ballsy and had an ego the size of a merchant fleet. ...Wasn't a big fan of Poppy Z Brite.

Can't comment on the rest, as I haven't read them. (I think. Long list.)

I'm not sure how much help this'll be, as I don't know that I was the best judge of fiction as a kid. But good luck in finding a good read!

...and that'd be Josh Lanyon, whoops. The synopsis above in the recs thread is really intriguing; definitely going on the to-read list.
