Sorry for not getting back to this sooner! I haven't read Yarros, and based on what I've read about it, I'm not planning to. Romantasy isn't a genre that clicks for me -- I like fantasy that has romance in it, but not one that's structured like a romance novel. Also, the opinions on the quality of writing in her books aren't generally favorable, and I am a very picky reader!
I have "Wonderbook", but am curious to investigate the others you listed under "5 Non-Fiction Books About Fantasy Fiction", thanks!
I'm super behind on all book trends and your Substack obviously, but what do you think of this? (I haven't read the series) https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/books/rebecca-yarros-onyx-storm.html

Got it! I didn't even know there was such a thing as romantasy, especially since fantasy often has romance in it, as you said.
