Frequently Asked Questions
What is romantasy?
Romantasy is romance crossed with fantasy: a love story with real stakes, set in a world of fae courts, dragon riders, vampires, or magic. Think Sarah J. Maas, Rebecca Yarros, and Jennifer L. Armentrout. The romance carries equal weight with the world-building.
How is the heat rating decided?
Each book is rated on the romance-community 1-5 chilli scale, from 1 (sweet, closed-door) to 5 (very explicit, open-door), based on widely-cited reader consensus. It rates only how steamy the on-page romance gets.
What should I read after Fourth Wing or ACOTAR?
Start with the list for the book you just finished. In short: ACOTAR and The Serpent and the Wings of Night for Fourth Wing fans, From Blood and Ash for ACOTAR fans, and The Serpent and the Wings of Night again for From Blood and Ash fans.
What if I have already read all of these?
Then you are ready to be the protagonist. You can play a choose-your-own-adventure romantasy where your choices shape the romance, or author your own spicy character from scratch. Both are linked at the foot of every list.
