Are fantasy romances a lifeline?

The transportive effect of fantasy romances has been a lifeline for some readers, Ariel said. Books like “Legends & Lattes,” a “cozy romantasy” story that follows an orc who abandons adventuring to open a coffee shop, have provided him with much-needed escapism during difficult times.

Which romantasy books are the best?

Another popular romantasy novel, Rebecca Yarros’ “Fourth Wing,” has spent 42 weeks on the New York Times’ bestseller list, while its sequel, “Iron Flame,” is in its 15th week. Romantasy is breaking through among readers who previously didn’t browse the fantasy aisle — and delighting readers who’ve loved it for years.

Do romantic fantasy novels give female characters power?

“Many romantic fantasy novels give female characters power that reduces female vulnerability and expands choices,” Kamblé said. “So of course we seek creative ways to envision those truths, especially when existing power structures actively want to deny us access to them.”
