I am a huge Codywan fan and while I love reading fic, I also enjoy reading books. If you also like Codywan and reading books, here are 2 book recommendations that are very Codywan-coded.

Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea by Rebecca Thorne. This is a great cozy fantasy about a powerful sorcerer and royal guard who run away from serving a tyrant to live in the mountains and serve tea. Kianthe is very Obi-wan coded as a magician with anxiety and has a bond with a griffin, similar to Obi-wan and Boga. Reyna is the royal guard, who is fed up with serving a tyrant. She is tough and struggles with hiding injuries. She also has a sword that really reveals her royal guard status. It is basically gender swapped Codywan in a fantasy world. It is a super soft cozy book that feels like a warm cup of tea on a snowy sunny day.

A Taste of Gold and Iron by Alexandra Rowland. This one has a mystery plot but it is not super intense. The main characters are a prince who has a special gift he can use to detect metal purities and his royal guard who was assigned to him after shit hit the fan. They are enemies to lovers. The prince Kadou also has anxiety (I don’t know why but Obi-wan has anxiety in my brain) and is charge of the mystery solving. Kadou is also a bit of a flirt. His guard, Evemer does not like him due to miscommunication about the shit-fan incident. Evemer is very stoic and could have gone into the military with his strategic knowledge. I love the descriptions in this book and it is one of my favorite romances. There is also a side character who could have been a spy and has a personality that reminds me of Quinlan Vos. There is also non-binary background characters that use a gender neutral pronoun set that is not they/them.
