I’ve come to realize that when it comes to fantasy(especially, high and adult fantasy), I actually like it better if the romance is in a background a little bit. Idk if it makes sense, but that way i have something to look forward to with more excitement ya know? Some of my fave high fantasy couples are Vin & Elend from Mistborn, Siri & Susebron from Warbreaker.
Siri and Susebron are such an underrated couple omg. I loved them out of all the couples created by Sanderson, although Elantris comes a very close second.
I agree! The romance wasn’t what I was expecting and I think that’s why I liked it so much. Romance wasn’t this thing the books were written around but something that happened.
I haven’t finished the last book yet! I have this thing were I will stop reading a book like 30 pages before the end because I don’t want the story to end 🤦♀️ But from your comment I’m guessing Dara has a fatal ending…
You do such a WONDERFUL job of summing up book plots! I agree with absolutely everything you said about Spinning Silver; such an AMAZING stand-alone fantasy novel that feels like a traditional fairy tale.
@@PeruseProject I just finished spinning silver as per your recommendations and I looooved it. Can you do a video recommending fantasy like it with romance in the corner room. In the back back background 😂
I’m half way through An Ember in the Ashes right now and I’m loving it. It’s such a page turner. It reminds me of the hunger games + the triwizard tournament in Harry Potter.
@@Nehaa18 have you finished the series?I'm on the first book-halfway through-I have the second book but have not yet gotten the third or fourth book.What do you think of it do you recommend finishing the series,does it become more interesting?
@@bellastarmartin4601 Hey! So I actually stopped reading after the first book. I did really enjoy it, but honestly got a little bored at the beginning of the second one. Sometimes I do feel like I'm (personally) outgrowing YA books, so that may be why. If you really love YA, definitely read it because I think you'd enjoy it!! That would be my advice!! :)
@@bellastarmartin4601 liked the second but the third one was one of my favourite books ever! Could'd stop reading and I fell in love with Helen, she is killin it!
I really feel like you need to carry on with the Discovery of Witches series this winter ... the second book is INSANELY smart and well-done, so much history, and the romance just gets better and better!
I love the All Souls Trilogy! Its a top 3 all time fav for me! I haven't read a lot of these but have some on my TBR' others never heard of a need to look into! Thanks for the recommendations!!
I feel like Spinning Silver was calling my name lol. I just finished reading A Deadly education by Naomi and I’m in love with it! I went to the bookstore to buy the sequel and saw spinning silver smack in the middle. Also, yesterday I was just thinking on how cool the character of Rumplestiltskin is! I got so excited when you said it was a retelling of him :D thx for the recommendations!
i just finished We Free The Stars yesterday so I have to recommend We Hunt The Flame as a perfect addition to this list!! Read the Sands of Arawiya duology for clear skin
@@wasi6798 it's fantasy abt an undercover huntress and an assassin prince who go on a quest with a bunch of other people to retrieve an item that would save their kingdom and restore magic
I've realized that as much as I love genre books with a strong romance element (like Spinning Silver), I never read straight up Fantasy Romance books. But I suppose others that would fit into this would be the Simon Snow trilogy or the Strange the Dreamer duology for YA, and then Parasol Protectorate series (or the related series by Gail Carriger, which is like Victorian London + supernatural creatures but steampunk) or Kushiel's Legacy (and the related series by Jacqueline Carey, which is like an alternate fantasy history of France featuring a courtesan spy and heavy politics). And technically it's scifi, but whatever: Winter's Orbit packs a bunch of great tropes into a story that is centered on an arranged marriage.
Oh my god FINNIKIN OF THE ROCK!! I read that book a million times over when I was younger and first getting into fantasy - it made me realize what the genre could do and what an excellent heart-wrenching book feels like. I remember sitting up in bed reading passages over and over again. You're right, it's criminally underrated, I haven't heard anyone talk about it before. This is my sign....it needs an immediate re-read
I feel like most fantasy has some element of romance (ymmv). Some have it in the forefront, and others have it more in the background. I wouldn't consider Green Bone saga a fantasy romance story. The romance is very much in the background (mind you, I have only read the first one so far, but I don't think a couple of steamy scenes equal a romance. Great read, nevertheless, and as I said, most fantasy has some element of romance, it's just definitely more in the background in Green Bone--at least so far. Personally, I am hoping Andon finds some love). I read a lot of books with queer romances (either subplot or central), whether it is the main romance, or side romance. I have heard good things about Ember in the Ashes! If you want epic fantasy with a good romance, check out Nightrunner series by Lynn Flewelling. It's an older series, but I love it. Also check out the YA fantasy trilogy Shadow of the Fox by Julie Kegawa. It's inspired by Japanese mythos, and has both a main and secondary romance.
The Lux series by Jennifer L armentrout will forever be a guilty pleasure romance. Also A Court of Thorns and roses trilogy is a favorite of mine, as well as the Clockwork Angel trilogy by Cassandra Claire. Amy Harmon writes beautiful romances.
I really liked crescent city, it was one of the first books i read this year, when i got back into reading. I'd like to add Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead - It is one of my absolute favorite Ya fantasy with romance, I love it so much. The MC Rose is still one of favorite characters i have read to date.
I agree with you 100%. I read VA when I was in middle school and I read it atleast once a year. The best characters and plot. It is definitely my favorite book series, ever. The only thing that would have made it even better would have been a little spice 🫣😅
If you want fantasy romance read Sarah J. Maas or Jennifer L. Armentrout and you won't be disappointed. Most recently in the end of October i read the Blood and Ash books and i LOVED them. I've read everything from Sarah J. Maas and i'm slowly reading Armentrout's books cause i always love them and i'm trying to pace myself so i don't run out of books.
I knew you were going to pull out City of Brass after that description and GIRRRRL you are so right. It’s amazing! Probably my favorite fantasy series. ❤️
I love this idea. Keep the romance fantasy recommendations coming! Do you have a video on funny books? I need a good laugh and am always looking for laugh out loud characters, in fantasy or any genre. Thank you!
The Tales from Verania by TJ Klune is probably one of the funniest books I've picked up (especially book one: The lightning struck heart). The humor is definitely 18++ so if your looking for clean humor, don't pick this up! Its also got some angsty will they, wont they M/M romance. There are currently 4 books out (technically a completed series) and he recently released some short stories (which I haven't read yet). I believe he is currently working on a book that follows another one of the characters in the story and I honest can't wait!
I just commented this somewhere else, but I cannot get enough of T. Kingfisher’s books set in the world of the Temple of the White Rat! They’re fantasy, but also romance, and are extremely funny and kind while still featuring characters with real depth to them. My favorites are Swordheart and Paladin’s Strength. So if you’re interested in kidnapped nuns who turn into bears, perfumers getting involved in murder mysteries, or tattoos that can eat people, with a side of sweetness and romance, and all within a well-constructed fantasy world, then T. Kingfisher may be for you.
Just finished Strange the Dreamer and onto the next (since it's a duology) can also be added in the list. The romance is secondary and a slower read, but I found it's worth it towards the end of the book
Now this is my kind of video. 😀 I love fantasy romance. Thank you for sharing! I loved House of Earth and Blood, and can’t wait for House of Sky and Breath. And to see how the relationship evolves cause as we know SJM doesn’t usually keep her heroine with just one love interest. 😩And I love these two together! A Song of Wraiths and Ruin - so happy to see you have this on your list. I don’t think this book has gotten as much love and attention it deserves. I can’t wait to read the final book, A Psalm of Storms and Silence which already came out. I need to continue the Ember in the Ashes series too. I’m trying to read A Discovery of Witches but I read it and put it down after a few pages. I think because not much is happening yet and it’s a little slow. I really want to get into it. I’m gonna keep trying. Definitely want to check out The City of Brass and Jade City.
I really enjoyed Air Awakens by Elise Kova, elemental magic and a heavy romance plot. Also will always recommend A Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson, plus size main character, religious magic and a great slow burn romance, what's not to love?
I know I can trust you because you love Finnikin of the Rock. I will be picking up everything on this list I haven't already read because of that. The Lumatere Chronicles is perfect. ❤️
Love this vibe!! But also put Stardust by Neil Gaiman on the list, it's a standalone with a fairytale feel and also, it has a great movie adaptation. One of my absolute favorites since I was younger!
If you want something a bit different in fantasy/romance you could read She by Rider Haggard. "She represents everything men long for, project onto, desire, and are appalled by in women." The book sold 86 million copies and had an enormous impact on feminine thought.
Thank you for the recommendations! I mostly read YA so I added those books from the end of your video to my tbr, two will be coming my way soon so I am excited to get started!
Can't agree more on Crescent City and Jade City 🧡 both of these books / series are wonderful, definitely books you shouldn't sleep on as the next books in each series are coming out soon!
Omg I’ve tried to read Crescent City twice and never get past chapter 3ish. It was just so boring. I may try for a third time based on your recommendation 😂
If you liked Discovery of Witches check out the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs. Main character is a VW mechanic who's a coyote shapeshifter. Her neighbor is a werewolf Alpha. Hijinks (and romance) ensue!
The Magpie Lord is a great m/m Victorian gothic fantasy with plenty of romance. It's heavy on the romance but I found the story throughout the entire trilogy so compelling that I couldn't stop reading it.
oh my god I'm back again after reading spinning silver (previously you led me to daebabad) and i love it so much that my next book will either be uprooted by the same author or something from your list. Although i hated jade city i think you have great taste and I'll probably read every book you recced in this eventually
I didn't get into Crescent City until like 300 pages in, but I am still so happy I read it because by the end I was so deeply invested and that ending. ♡
Any of TJ Klune books (especially his adult novels) are great fantasy romance. I also got to give a shout out to the Captive Prince series by CS. Pacat, one of my all time favorite series
Oooh, this is my jam! I cannot recommend T. Kingfisher’s novels set in the Temple of the White God world. They’re all wonderful, but my favorites are Swordheart and Paladin’s Strength. Kingfisher is a fantastic writer. She’s funny and kind and makes me care deeply about the characters. They’re fantasy, but also romance, and feature kidnapped nuns who turn into bears and perfumers and spies and rather a lot of severed heads…well, they bend genres, anyway :)
i totally agree… i feel like i can’t read to a lot of good books because i can’t read heartbreaking books.. ever since these violents delight duology 🥲
Hmm really, Jade City? I am not sure if I agree with inclusion of it on this list because having just finished Jade City and Jade War (obviously in anticipation of Jade Legacy, CANNOT WAIT) I feel like I could count the romantic scenes within both these books on one hand? Maybe I'm crazy idk, I feel like this series has really well written characters so I feel things when bad things happen to characters but the adjective steamy just does not seem like the correct way to describe the romance in this series. But that's just my opinion, obviously you felt differently but that's all good, we are all allowed our own opinion. Great video as always! :)
I thought, I was the only one that liked discovery of witches. I loved it a lot with the only exception the repeated Yoga conversations -- I enjoyed it overall.
Ohmygosh, I'm so glad you mentioned Finnikin of the Rock. This series is SO GOOD. It steals your heart and is just a great autumn read. The second and third books in particular are just perfect. Please please try them if you're looking for an immersive, heartfelt story! I can't recommend it enough.
If I am gonna read I wanna read fantasy which is what I like and romance is gonna be a cute book considering it is fantasy too I can’t find fantasy books people recommend so thank you for this video
I love the romance fantasy trope. The only thing I have an issue with is violence and fowl language but finding clean fantasy romance books is harder to find. If anyone has any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Half a Soul by Olivia Atwater is a very sweet Fantasy romance with a central romance plot line. It’s a very sweet romance and has no steamy scenes so it seems perfect for you if you want something “clean”! It’s a historical romance set in England where Fae have a land parallel to ours, and involves magic!
So I have only attempted to listen to both your first books and they both need new narration if you ask me. I haven’t tried to actually read them though.
I’ve come to realize that when it comes to fantasy(especially, high and adult fantasy), I actually like it better if the romance is in a background a little bit. Idk if it makes sense, but that way i have something to look forward to with more excitement ya know? Some of my fave high fantasy couples are Vin & Elend from Mistborn, Siri & Susebron from Warbreaker.
Siri and Susebron are such an underrated couple omg. I loved them out of all the couples created by Sanderson, although Elantris comes a very close second.
Same here, Siri and Susebron is my fave cosmere couple. They're so cute! 😆
A Winters promise is slightly like that!
These are my favorite types!! Do you have any recommendations?
The Daevabad trilogy had such a great romance 😭 not what I expected at first but I fell in loooooove with them! Such a well rounded fantasy series.
Yesss....it was just sooo beautiful....💕💕💕💕
I want more....
Truee
I agree! The romance wasn’t what I was expecting and I think that’s why I liked it so much. Romance wasn’t this thing the books were written around but something that happened.
I’m still crying about Dara 😭💔
I haven’t finished the last book yet! I have this thing were I will stop reading a book like 30 pages before the end because I don’t want the story to end 🤦♀️ But from your comment I’m guessing Dara has a fatal ending…
I love secondary romances in fantasy! I like reading just contemporary romance or historical romance for my primary romances!
I agree! Secondary romances are so fun in fantasy stories
You do such a WONDERFUL job of summing up book plots! I agree with absolutely everything you said about Spinning Silver; such an AMAZING stand-alone fantasy novel that feels like a traditional fairy tale.

The Green Bone Saga is also one of the few series that gets better with each book. Love it.

Another fantasy with a romance that I loved was Priory of the Orange Tree. It's a hefty tome but so worth it.

The movie is also amazing, I loved it as a teenager. It has Claire Danes as the star and she can never do any wrong in my eyes.
Love love love Spinning Silver! So good on so many levels!
Agreed
Kingdom of the Wicked is a MUST read fantasy romance
If you want something a bit different in fantasy/romance you could read She by Rider Haggard. "She represents everything men long for, project onto, desire, and are appalled by in women." The book sold 86 million copies and had an enormous impact on feminine thought.
I still need to read the last book in the series, but I absolutely love the romance in the Devabad trilogy!
Thank you for the recommendations! I mostly read YA so I added those books from the end of your video to my tbr, two will be coming my way soon so I am excited to get started!
I am obsessed with every single sweater that you wear
Can't agree more on Crescent City and Jade City 🧡 both of these books / series are wonderful, definitely books you shouldn't sleep on as the next books in each series are coming out soon!
these are my favorite kinds of books! please share more when you can ✨
I really enjoyed the daevabad trilogy 😃
I absolutely love crescent city it's one of my favorite books that I have read this year 🥰💖
I'd recommend The Kiss of Deception. It's so good.
This is the list I didn’t know I wanted, thanks! PS I love your sweater.
I would love more fantasy romance recs!!
SJM books are such a treat for romance and fantasy lovers... ❤️❤️
Omg I’ve tried to read Crescent City twice and never get past chapter 3ish. It was just so boring. I may try for a third time based on your recommendation 😂
If you liked Discovery of Witches check out the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs. Main character is a VW mechanic who's a coyote shapeshifter. Her neighbor is a werewolf Alpha. Hijinks (and romance) ensue!
The Magpie Lord is a great m/m Victorian gothic fantasy with plenty of romance. It's heavy on the romance but I found the story throughout the entire trilogy so compelling that I couldn't stop reading it.
Mistborn trilogy has the best secondary romance plotline. Looking for something resembling the romance between Vin and Elend.
They are a fantastic pair!
Loved it. Sanderson is an awesome writer.
I’m hesitant to read crescent city because I can’t stomach another Rowan or Rhysand
oh my god I'm back again after reading spinning silver (previously you led me to daebabad) and i love it so much that my next book will either be uprooted by the same author or something from your list. Although i hated jade city i think you have great taste and I'll probably read every book you recced in this eventually
I didn't get into Crescent City until like 300 pages in, but I am still so happy I read it because by the end I was so deeply invested and that ending. ♡
I would love to hear more recommendations for this trope! Romances within fantasy books are my favourite 💕📚
Have you read the Fever Series by Karen Marie Moning? I like that series.
@@jks90768 no I haven’t! I’ll check it out ☺️

This is EXACTLY what I needed in my life right now.
Thank you!! I love This video and I’m so thankful you gave recommendations for fantasy and romance books! A lot have been added to my TBR
I just finished the 3rd book in the Black Witch series, not super romance heavy its a great element of the story
If you could make this video every month or so, go ahead!! I am always looking for a great fantasy romance book :)
When she says heartbreaking i just don’t want to read it i like happy endings. I mean if you can’t get it in life at least i want it in my books 😭
i totally agree… i feel like i can’t read to a lot of good books because i can’t read heartbreaking books.. ever since these violents delight duology 🥲
Ohhhh my gosh I liveeee for videos like these!!!
Love your co-host at the beginning!
Crescent city was soo good🥰❤️

If I am gonna read I wanna read fantasy which is what I like and romance is gonna be a cute book considering it is fantasy too I can’t find fantasy books people recommend so thank you for this video
I would recommend the Glamourist History series by Mary Robinette Kowal--set in the Regency Era, it's a bit like Jane Austen with fantasy :D
Love the pug at the beginning! :D

After ACOTAR and TOG Series, I don't know what to read nexttt. Any suggestion?
I love the way you describe books
Love the pink sweater!
The way you described the first book, i was sure you were talking about kushiel's dart.
I love the romance fantasy trope. The only thing I have an issue with is violence and fowl language but finding clean fantasy romance books is harder to find. If anyone has any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Half a Soul by Olivia Atwater is a very sweet Fantasy romance with a central romance plot line. It’s a very sweet romance and has no steamy scenes so it seems perfect for you if you want something “clean”! It’s a historical romance set in England where Fae have a land parallel to ours, and involves magic!
This is the video I didn't know I needed 😂 I love fantasy with romance subplots so 😍 💕 💖
This is exactly what I want to read right now!
Poison Study by Maria V Snyder!!!
I know I'm always saying it.....but I just adore Matilda 🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤
Hi, I really like your bookshelf in the back, JUST WHERE did you get it?
Im reading the Immortal City now and it is fantasic! I recommend!
I'm drawn into this! If you feel the same, a similar book should be on your to-read list. "Stars Aligned" by Olivia Whitestone
So I have only attempted to listen to both your first books and they both need new narration if you ask me. I haven’t tried to actually read them though.
I love your sweather. It looks great on you 😊
Omg the doggo cuteness 😍
YES! Ember is just so freaking good 🥺 i would rec the bone season as well. The romance in this one is *chef kiss*
Just downloaded Finnikin of the Rock!!! Never heard of it. I really liked the Lux series by Jennifer L Armentrout and her Storm and Fury series!
OMG, Matilda is so cute just blinking at the camera. I want to squeeze her 🤗
I can't wait to read jade legacy 😃🙂
I really enjoyed a song of wraiths and ruin I can't wait to read the second book
