Sarah J. Maas is a romance and fantasy writer who readers have formed the term “romantasy” out of. As one of the main authors from which this term comes from, she is a great gateway into the literary world which booktokers have deemed “romantasy." If you love a good fantasy story with some romance sprinkled in, then this is the author for you! Once you pick up one of her books though, you are in it for the long run. She currently has three different series (Throne of Glass, A Court of Thorns and Roses, and Crescent City) and once you finish one of them, you’ll need the other two series; stories just to quell your newfound romantasy thirst! Colleen Hoover is a very well-known romance author whose bestselling novel It Ends With Us was recently brought to the big screen. Her other hits include Verity, Ugly Love, and Reminders of Him. She has a whole collection of romance novels, so be sure to check her out if that’s one of
your preferred genres! Rebecca Yarros is another author who dabbles in romantasy writing, despite most of her novels being strictly romance. She originally published romance novels only, but she has recently added
fantasy to her genres and proven very successful as a result! Before she became increasingly
popular from her release of fantasy novel Fourth Wing, she had released romance novels The
Things We Leave Unfinished, The Last Letter, and Great and Precious Things to name a few.
So even if you are strictly a romance novel reader, there are still those options when you give
Yarros a try!
Romance writer galore! Emily Henry’s most popular romance reads are Beach Read, People We Meet On Vacation, Book Lovers, and Happy Place. Her romances bring a whole new and fun-filled
perspective to the genre, and even if you don’t typically go for romances, you’ve got to see what
all the fuss is about and try at least one of this iconic author’s works!
Lucy Score has become yet another popular romance writer! (Are you noticing a trend with the
booktokers??) Score’s current popular works include the Things We Never Got Over series in
addition to several other series which follow characters as they experience their own love
stories.
