Frequently Asked Questions
- What is romantasy?
- Romantasy is epic or high fantasy with romance as a central — not incidental — element of the story. The genre was popularised by Sarah J. Maas (A Court of Thorns and Roses, Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros) and has become one of the dominant forces in adult fiction. It typically features strong world-building, slow-burn relationships, and emotional intensity alongside the fantasy plotting.
- Which romantasy series should I start with?
- Sarah J. Maas's A Court of Thorns and Roses is the genre's most read series. Rebecca Yarros's Fourth Wing (Basgiath War College) is the most recent phenomenon. For readers who want more fantasy and less romance, Maas's Throne of Glass series is slightly more action-focused.
