romantasy books on my TBR 📚

If anyone knows anything about me at all, it's that I love romantasy (especially political romantasy - there is simply nothing better).

I found these under 'New Releases' on goodreads & will likely pick them up some time in 2025. Next year will be a huge change for me as far as my reading goes - and I am so excited about it.

What romantasy books do you recommend?

Romantasy, a captivating blend of romance and fantasy, has been capturing the hearts of readers everywhere. In this genre, stories often revolve around complex characters navigating tumultuous relationships set against fantastical backdrops. Recent trends indicate a rising interest in political romantasy, where power struggles intertwine with romantic and magical elements. One exciting novel to look out for is 'A Song to Drown Rivers' by Ann Liang, which follows a woman of extraordinary beauty trained to use her allure as a weapon. Set in a dangerous court, the story delves into revenge and a complex love affair. Another anticipated title is 'Tribute of Fire' by Sariah, featuring a princess competing in a deadly race to break a centuries-old curse, torn between her duty and her feelings for an enigmatic sailor. In addition, 'Cursed Fae: Book One' by Olo Hearieo presents a thrilling tale of a faerie princess navigating a treacherous mirror realm, requiring her to confront her secrets and her feelings. Meanwhile, Marion Blackwood’s 'Empire of Flame and Thorns' introduces a gripping plot of a fae rebel drawn to a dragon shifter commander amidst fierce trials. As 2025 approaches, the romantasy genre promises to deliver fresh stories packed with adventure, intricate plots, and heartfelt emotions. Keep an eye on these and other new releases that are set to enthrall and inspire readers looking to escape into fantastical worlds brimming with romance.
