What is the difference between Romantasy and Fantasy with Romance?
Simply put in a Romantasy book, the romance is pivotal to the plot. In a Fantasy with Romance, the romance is an extra layer to the story. Much in the same way that Paranormal Romance focuses on the romance element too. Your Romantasy novel can contain all the usual romantic tropes, but is set in a fantasy setting or features fantasy creatures in a real world setting. Some of the most popular examples are Sarah J. Maas and Holly Black. It was only a few of years ago that Romantasy properly took off, mostly thanks to Maas. While her A Court of Thorns and Roses series does get mixed reviews, there is no doubt that it really pushed the genre into the spotlight. Many Romantasy books followed from both published and indie authors. So what else can we expect from these books?
Happy writing!
