    All of these are highly-rated, no-romance novels, carefully selected by me after reading them all. The first one, "The God of War," is definitely a masterpiece, with the author having strong moral values. The second one is a bit funny, with good writing. The third one features a very strong female lead. And the last one is also about staying true to your original aspirations.
