Romantasy
Romantasy
is a fusion of romance and fantasy, where both elements are essential
to the story. In these books, the worldbuilding and the relationship
develop side by side, each shaping the other as the plot unfolds.
Rather than treating romance as a subplot, romantasy places it at the
centre. The emotional stakes are just as important as the external
conflict, whether that be a war between kingdoms, a magical threat or
a struggle for power.
You’ve probably heard of Sarah J. Maas’
A Court of Thorns and Roses series, or Rebecca Yarros’
Fourth Wing novels, two of the most talked about examples of
romantasy that helped bring the genre into the mainstream.
