Fantasy Worlds I Never Wanted to Leave
Some books you finish. Others? They own you forever. These worlds swallowed me whole, and I’d move there in a heartbeat (yes, even with the monsters). From fae assassins to cursed magic and kingdoms built on lies, these stories remind me why fantasy will always be my escape. #RomantasyReads
