Romantasy Binge Reviews: The Best (and Most Heart-Wrenching) Series You Need to Read
Trust me, reality can wait.
**Proceed with care — there are spoilers lurking in the shadows.
It all started with a single book. You know how it goes — “just one more chapter,” you tell yourself at 2 a.m., heart pounding as a heroine slays a monster and her romantic doubts in one breath. And before you know it, you’ve devoured five romantasy series in as many weeks, your real-life responsibilities fading like background noise in the wake of dragon wings, whispered prophecies, and enemies-to-lovers tension so thick you could cut it with a sword.
Romantasy, the genre where magic collides with high-stakes romance, is an irresistible alchemy of escapism. It’s where heartache feels epic and love is often tangled up in wars, curses, and the occasional supernatural being. My reading spree wasn’t a gradual slide — it was a full-on tumble into the deep end, driven by a hunger for worlds that shimmer with spells and relationships that sizzle with angst. From Fourth Wing’s dragon-riding warriors to A Court of Thorns and Roses’ fae courts of intrigue, each series promised more than just escapism — it offered an emotional rollercoaster I couldn’t resist.
