To be totally addicted to romantasy books?

[yourethemoon]

I know I know, they’re not exactly literary greats.

But I can’t get enough of them. I’m on my fifth romantasy series back to back, I’ve read 19 books in the last 6 weeks! I just eat them up. My partner thinks I should broaden my horizons a bit because, in his words, it’s “fairy porn” without much value.

AIBU?

There is no harm in loving a particular genre.

Often particular genres of books are dismissed as being light or unworthy when in fact they allow authors the opportunity to explore deeper themes. The framework of the genre can act as a screen for subversive ideas. Another author might use world-building as a way to entice readers to listen to social commentary.

Fairy smut isn’t always what it appears. Sometimes it is, but not always.

Throne of glass is an epic complex amazing world and storyline, with barely any sex at all! It definitely doesn’t deserve to be classified as “fairy smut”

TOG definitely has its smutty moments - R and A on the beach, anyone? It's not just falling from one sex scene into another though, there's a lot of world building, character development and action.

Yes! I agree I preferred it and am fully Team Blake 🤣. I'll have to do a re-read as she's just announced The Wolf Queen will be out next spring.

Team Blake here too!
