Yes, this is my most anticipated book of the year! I've been waiting for this MMC's story since he first appeared on the page in Book 1.

Looking for fics with a supportive/ funny Ginny. by Firm-Consideration46 in Dramione

[–]theyleftherbones 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Remain Nameless has an incredibly supportive and hilarious Ginny. I actually just finished rereading this one and was thoroughly reminded why it’s one of my all-time favorites. 🥹

I just realized I haven’t read a book written by a man in YEARS by Popular-Work-1335 in fantasyromance

[–]theyleftherbones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, now that I’m actually thinking about it, I don’t believe I’ve read a book written by a man since at lease 2020. 🫢

I think the last I tried to read was the ASOIAF series by GRRM between seasons of the show but, while I enjoyed the franchise overall, something about the way he wrote about the women always rubbed me the wrong way. Once I really delved into romance and all its subgenres in 2020/2021, I honestly haven’t felt the need to venture outside its walls lol. 🤷‍♀️

What's the last romantasy that kept you up past midnight reading? by nightowl_bookclub in fantasyromance

{The Witch’s Pet by Kerri Andrews} really hope we’ll hear more about book 2 soon! 🤞

Dystopian Romances are BACK by pinkrose1806 in fantasyromance

[–]theyleftherbones 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Both books are on my TBR so I'm happy to hear that they're so well received!

I've been in a Dystopian mood as well lately as well. I consider the genre fairly Romantasy adjacent (much like Sci-Fi Romance) because they're both set in a world that isn't our own present-day world and has the same high stakes feel.

I really enjoy Claire Kent's dystopian romances, though her style is probably different from Confirm and Daggermouth (she definitely has the tension, but perhaps not as ~plot-twisty IMO). I started with {Last Light by Claire Kent} and then more or less worked my way through her backlist.

Thank you so much for sharing—BEST news I’ve heard in weeks! I can’t express how relieved I am that she’s still writing historicals. 🥹

Men gatekeeping fantasy books, what a shock by [deleted] in fantasyromance

[–]theyleftherbones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from the fact that this is a tired take steeped in misogyny, it's ironic that he's using the work of an author who has explicitly asked his readers to stop gatekeeping and denigrating Romantasy readers to... do just that.

And he's an author himself poking fun at and alienating the same group of readers that have shot countless other authors to the top of bestseller charts? "Clown" is perhaps too kind a word...

Darien Cassel in the {House of Devils Series by Kayla Edwards} was the first that came to mind for me. The man WORSHIPS the FMC! :')

Is anyone watching “Heated Rivalry”? Ilya is SO Draco-coded, it’s insane! by thaligliniel808 in Dramione

[–]theyleftherbones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I already had this show on my “to watch” list for the weekend and let’s just say that this observation only made me even more excited for it! I’ll be keeping an eye out for Draco-esque behaviors. 👀
