Romantic Fantasy & Fantasy Romance Book Recs

I recently made a post looking for the book/reader community on Tumblr and I found a lot of you! A couple people asked for book recommendations so here they are. All of these have varying levels of spice unless otherwise mentioned. I do recommend going into all of these blind and just see if you like them with zero expectations. I find it makes the reading experience better if you aren’t expecting something to be the greatest thing ever. Then you can only be surprised if you like it (or hopefully love it!) All of these are fantasy romance!!

Tagging some peeps who said they also love fantasy romance or seemed like they would like to know about some book recs: @imhilien @raven-reads87 @accidentalspaceexplorer @the-dust-jacket @melindacopp @taylorsversion213 @siruisreader @faerie-smut-merchant @gwelwynn @hitchhikerbooks @astrid162 @arewedancer99 @bookwyrmtaz @sourpatchkid99 @caffeinated-bibliophile @books-and-cookies @eaterofbooks @franticvampirereads @carissabroadbent - sorry if I forgot anyone or if you did not want to be tagged. Happy reading!

- Daughter of No Worlds, the first book in The War of Lost Hearts trilogy by Carissa Broadbent. You’ve got grumpy/sunshine, badass female protagonist, a “who did this to you?” scene, and so much more!! It’s dark but still has so much love and is just. So, so good. I will never shut up about how much I adore this criminally underrated series. There is absolutely nothing I disliked about this book. This is my favorite trilogy ever, up there tied with my favorite series ever. There’s no miscommunication and the characters handle hard situations maturely. It’s dark at times and deals with slavery, torture, and the injustices that entails, but it’s also empowering and full of hope and funny quips. The characters are lovable and complex. The pacing is the best pacing of any book. The romance is sweet yet still full of tension. The plot is incredible. I cannot recommend this book enough. It flawlessly balances the mundanity of living with the largeness of this universe and literal world ending stakes. She balances joy and grief, laughter and sorrow, trauma and healing. It’s a true feat when your heart aches with all of it at the same time. Each book is incredible. The character I was hesitant to love in the first book had me sobbing with the realism and heartache that I felt for her in the last book. If you listen to the audiobook, the narrators were perfectly cast as well. Tisaanah, the FMC has a language barrier and it’s done so incredibly well, especially when listening to the audiobook. It remains one of my favorite things about Daughter of No Worlds. This series is criminally underrated and I will never understand how it isn’t at the top of booktok. 12/10, move this up to the top of your TBR. Each book is just as good as the one before it. I’m obsessed with this series. This series is on KU!! It’s a completed trilogy!!

- The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle L Jenson. And it’s included in your Audible Plus subscription if you have one. The tension, the conflict, the romance. I love a morally grey mc as much as the next gal, but Aren is the equivalent of a golden retriever and I would die for him and Laura. Enemy kingdoms. Marriage. A perfect Enemies to lovers!! Also on KU!! Completed duology, with a third book focusing on a different couple.

- The Witch Collector by Charissa Weaks. This is one of the best fantasy romances I’ve read! The FMC is a mute witch!! The plot, the tension, the characters, all of it is amazing. I fell in love with these characters and this world. Not to mention the ✨sexual tension✨ is some of the best I’ve ever read. It’s well earned too! Alexus and Raina have made my list of favorite ships. The sequel, City of Ruin, introduced a bunch of new characters and POVs (including the villains!) is a lot spicier, and just overall expands the world and the characters!! It’s action packed and made me look at the series in a new light! It does end on a major cliffhanger though, so be aware! Still read it. But it’s not tied up with a bow (yet!) I cannot express how excited I am for the third book and the direction this story is going. Highly, highly recommend! She also has signed copies on her Etsy!

- The Scribe by Elizabeth Hunter! This is a completed urban fantasy with romance series with 7 books. The first 3 books follow the same couple and can be read as a completed series - the other books focus on different couples and are just an extension. A race of beings ascended from angels are at war. Our main protagonist Ava is a human photojournalist who has heard voices in a nonexistent language her whole life and has always been told and believed she’s just crazy…but is she?? I love when we get a character thrown into a fantasy world who has no knowledge of it (like the reader!) it’s so fun. The romance is 🔥🔥🔥 and I love them. Ava is smart and savvy but not otherworldly strong like a lot of protagonists. She’s learning. And MAGIC! I love magic. I love the magic in this universe. The pacing is great and it’s a great balance of romance and plot. It’s a super interesting premise and I just think more people should read this series. I do not recommend the audiobook through - I hated the narrator. Book is great though! Also on KU!!

- I’ve found that whichever SJM series you start with is your favorite but Throne of Glass is next level. It was her first series and she spent half of her life writing it. You can see some of the groundwork for ACOTAR in it. But where ACOTAR is about the romance, ToG is about the plot. The romances are secondary to the plot. But for ACOTAR, the plot is secondary to the relationships and romance. ToG is so expertly planned out and it’s a slow burn into fantasy. It’s my number 1, favorite series. It’s definitely more YA but grows into what I would consider more New Adult towards the end of the series. Do not go into this series expecting spice. There is romance, but there are not any spicy scenes until the later books. The journey you go on with Celaena from Assassin’s Blade to Kingdom of Ash is unparalleled. It feels so special and epic. BUT I will say I went into the series completely blind with no expectations. So I suggest doing the same. And the first few books might seem slow. But KEEP GOING it’s worth it, I swear. And start with the prequel Assassin’s Blade!! It’s broken up into interconnected short novellas for the prequel only. The series has a more full circle feeling when you start with the prequel, and you don’t know things that you might otherwise know if you read Throne of Glass first. Starting with the prequel also made me love Celaena more. If you are just starting fantasy, start with Throne of Glass because it is a slow burn into fantasy. This is a completed series

- The Song of the Marked by S.M. Gaither. I was told this book would cure my Throne of Glass hangover. I’d agree! It also gives me major From Blood and Ash vibes, but with better characters. It’s got a great magic system, fun friendship dynamics and banter, a slow burn enemies to lovers, and some good ol’ fashion mystery surrounding the protagonist. I’m really enjoying it so far and if you like fantasy, I highly recommend!!

- Hollow Heathens (Tales of Weeping Hollow) by Nicole Fiorina - it’s like if Halloweentown met Storybrooke from Once Upon a Time, and had a child. It’s a gothic romance and is just so different from everything I’ve read. Also on KU!! This is a standalone.

- The North Wind by Alexandria Warwick. It’s a fun enemies to lovers Beauty and the Beast and Hades and Persephone retelling. Mix elements of those stories together and you have The North Wind. Also on KU!! Can be read as a stand-alone. The next book, which isn’t out yet, focuses on a different couple.

- An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir. You’ve got a spy posing as a slave to save her brother. A trained assassin brought up in a merciless, brutal school where he wants to escape. There’s a love triangle of sorts, which I usually hate but I didn’t mind it in this! It’s action packed and has made me love YA again. Dark, with themes of generational trauma, the importance of storytelling, the ✨power of love✨, breaking generational cycles, mercy, and tragedy of war. Lots of character growth for everyone!! Inspired by the gladiator times in the Roman Empire. Young Adult but very violent. No spice, all fade to black.

- The Serpent and The Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent!! I had high expectations for this book. Carissa’s other series, The War of Lost Hearts, is my favorite series ever. And now with one book out so far, Crown of Nyaxia is making that list too. The world building. The characters. The complexity and emotions and just everything about it. It’s a masterpiece. I love the relationships!! And the last quarter of the book had me on an emotional rollercoaster through the end. I wanted to reread this book the moment I finished it. If a dark, gritty, high stakes fantasy romance with Hunger Games meets vampires and swoon worthy, epic romance (and some spice!!) sounds like your thing, drop everything else your reading and start this. This is the first book in a series and was just released. Carissa is my favorite author and one thing that she does really well is write strong, healthy relationships. Her characters don’t fall into lust and then in love - it’s a buildup of respect, trust, friendship, and then love. (And 🌶️🌶️ of course, but the relationships are more than that.) Raihn is my new #1 book boyfriend!!

- The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy by Megan Bannen is a new comfort read for me. but if you want a super fun, quirky, romance with You’ve Got Mail vibes set in a fantasy universe that also has zombie like creatures, this is it. I know that sounds weird af, but it is so cute and I can’t stop smiling as I read it!! It’s a new favorite and is just SO CUTE! And I cried!!

- A Deal With the Elf King by Elise Kova! This is a standalone, enemies to lovers, arranged marriage fantasy romance!! I love all the characters in this, especially the growth of the MMC! The FMC feels a lot of responsibility to take care of everyone around her and she doesn’t allow others to disrespect her (especially the MMC!) There are lots of swoon worthy lines that had me smiling and blushing and some spice! Highly recommend!!

- The High Mountain Court by A.K. Mulford. It has witches, fae, a fun magic system, mates, natural LGBTQIA+ and POC representation, spicy, enemies to lovers, touch her and die (and the opposite touch him and die!), a truly wonderful and swoon worthy romance, and is just a great NA fantasy romance! Each book focuses on a different couple and follows a cohesive storyline!

- Between Wrath and Mercy by Jess Wisecup. You’ve got a mom hellbent on getting her kidnapped teenage daughter back. She needs the help of the Crown Prince - her first love - to do it. A spicy fantasy romance that is both character driven and plot driven. It’s so refreshing to read “older” (ie not 16 - 25 years old) characters in a fantasy romance!! The tension is high and the grief and love that intermingle to form the emotional backbone of these characters is so poignant and beautifully done. It’s also nice to see a mom who has an identity outside of being a mom! But she’s still a great mom! It was so refreshing to read and the second book is even better than the first! Very dark and yet also sweet and romantic and intense.

- The Cruel Prince by Holly Black! Also known as The Folk of the Air trilogy. If you’re looking for a spicy fantasy series, this isn’t it. There’s no spice. But if you’re looking for an AMAZING YA fantasy villain arc with enemies to lovers, fantastic storytelling, plot twists, and just an overall faerie adventure, read this series. I was hesitant to read it because of its YA rating/audience. But it’s easily one of my favorite series of all time! I love the characters, the plot, the arc, and the writing style! I read each book in less than two days. Highly, highly recommend. I also read them on audiobook and the narration is fantastic!

I didn't get your answer about Laxus. We know he became an S-class in 778 at 17, Erza in 780 at 15 and Mirajane in 781 at 16. When would that scar story happen ? In 778 when he came an S-class or before (in 776 or 777 where he would have failed, succeding later in 778) ? Because what I understood from your answer was that basically Laxus was undeserving of his title, and worse, only got the chance to participate because he was Makarov's grandson..

Ok, I'm gonna assume you're the same anon from my last ask and we're talking about chapter 4 of Alors on Danse, otherwise this is really confusing lol

Laxus gets his scar DURING his S-class trial. I've read it somewhere that this is canon, but I can't confirm it, so it's at least my headcanon.

Laxus's behavior in AOD comes from my thoughts on the shonen genre. In every shonen manga, it's up for a teenage protagonist to save the world and whatever while the adults are... weak, lacking and also irresponsible. So I thought about treating this subject in a more realistic light.

Makarov IS an irresponsible adult if you consider a lot of FT characters are teenagers and he's all like "yeah, go ahead, fight Acnologia with the power of friendship" lol.

That being said, Laxus' story on AOD is as follows: he was a sweet child, but his father was constantly clashing with his grandfather. Ivan's harsh comments about Makarov have Laxus starting to believe Makarov is not to be trusted. Add that to the transition from childhood to teenagehood and a natural disposition to defy authority in this phase.

Laxus is becoming stronger, but he is eager to prove that his fame is due to his own merit, and not because he is Makarov's grandson. Laxus wants to take the S-class trials, presses Makarov into letting him participate saying he's more than ready. Makarov, lacking and irresponsible as he is, allows him to participate (let's also remind here that he sorta let WENDY to the trials lol) without further evaluation.

During the S-class trials, Laxus is ALMOST fatally wounded (the scar), but manages to complete the trials and become an S-class mage. As his father is expelled from the guild and his anger towards Makarov grows, Laxus starts to judge his grandfather's actions more harshly.

Now a few years older, he sees how his grandfather handles the younger children and think about how absurd it was when he'd let Laxus participate in the S-class trials, how he almost died due to his grandfather's negligence. He doesn't want it to happen with the other children, specially Mira and Lisanna.

So, you see, Laxus wasn't a priviledged boy because Makarov's negligent behavior is extended towards everyone. He did earn the S-class title by merit, but the truth is he also got lucky. He could've easily died. If Makarov were a more responsible Master, he wouldn't have allowed Laxus to participate until he was sure Laxus could pull it off. Laxus realizes that throughout the years Makarov's behavior remains the same and he fears something bad could happen to some of the children... which kinda did, with Lisanna.

Now, this is a bit of a spoiler from the next chapter, but Laxus doesn't blame Mira and Elfman for what happened to Lisanna. He reminds of his teenage days and how reckless he was, so he knows it's stupid to expect maturity from them. He DOES expect maturity from Makarov, which didn't happen and that's why Lisanna is dead. Laxus is reaching his limit with Makarov and we'll see how these events lead to the upcoming canon events. (maybe in 10 years giving my writing pace)

I hope I answered your questions!

[ika-thy]

Do you have any headcanons about how Laxus, Erza and Mira S-class exams took places ? Unfortunately Laxus doesn't seem to have had any rivals/friends of his age (I wish Mashima had given him some), so was it easy, did he utterly crushed it ? What about the two most talented witches, do you think they faced each other ?

I wish I had something cool to tell you... but I don't, sorry 🤧🤧🤧

I thought about Laxus' trial when I was writing the 4th chapter of Alors on Danse. My approach was Laxus wasn't really ready to take the exam, but being an impulsive teenager and eager to prove he wasn't just Makarov's grandson, he pressured Makarov to let him do the exam. And Makarov relented because he isn't exactly an example of a responsible adult lol. Then Laxus got his scar (an island monster, maybe?) and almost died and years later he began to realize how irresponsible his grandfather could be.

You know, maybe it isn't fair, but I like to think of Makarov as a highly flawed individual. I don't think he's good at expressing his feelings and Laxus resents him for that (what a millenial thing to do). But I don't think of him as uncaring. I think that, after Laxus almost died at the exam, Makarov didn't apologize but changed the rules (like, letting the candidate choose a partner, for example, just like the exam depicted in the manga).

(DOES LAXUS DREYAR HAVE GENERATIONAL TRAUMA????)

You pointing out the fact Laxus probably didn't have friends his age is super interesting. I don't think I ever thought about this angle in depth and it makes sense for him to be sort of a lonely guy. That is, until he met the Raijinshuu. But I guess it makes sense he internalizes his resentment and explodes in an exaggerated act of rebellion by attacking Magnolia.

As for Mira and Erza, I honestly don't have much. I think Erza being one of the ""main"" characters makes it look like she is stronger than Mirajane, but I like to think they are equals. I think Erza won the exam first not because she was stronger or more prepared, but only because she got lucky.

"I don't like sad songs," he tells her. His voice, muffled by the fabric of her uniform, sounds strangely childlike. "Sing me one anyway."

But she doesn't sing. She doesn't seem to have a voice any longer. She only holds his head upon her lap and dips her fingers into the moonlight of his hair again and again. With each caress, it feels like another petal of her soul detaches and flutters to the floor, bleaching in the hollow air, turning to dust, to sand, to ashes. To tiny bones.
