Romantasy
Genre of fiction combining romance and fantasy
Romantasy is a genre of fiction combining romance and fantasy. Key exponents are Sarah J. Maas, known for her Throne of Glass and A Court of Thorns and Roses and Rebecca Yarros, whose Fourth Wing and Iron Flame have both broken sales records and are due to be made into a TV series.[1] Sales of the Romantasy genre are widely driven by promotion on social media, particularly the part of TikTok known as BookTok.[1] Romantasy authors are largely women, as is the market, and the genre is known for representing minorities.[2]
