justice for strange the dreamer!!! it’s so beautifully written and atmospheric and captivating. i honestly believe laini taylors books never got the hype they deserved. she’s in my top 5 favourite authors

[@strawberrylime33]

I'm going to try Strang the Dreamer, but I'm iffy. I don't want insta love between teenagers. But apparently this book is well written with purple prose to die for.

[@deborahcarvalho4383]

I'm wondering if someone knows about fairies of dreamdark - everytime someone mentioned Laini's books are only Stranger the dreamer and Daughter of smoke and bone.

[@aimun5255]

Shes sooo underrated, like she should've gotten the v e schwab treatment

[@shay-car]

@@deborahcarvalho4383 the Dreamdark books are beautiful! They’re more middle grade, no romance, so I think not as widely appealing. DoSaB is SO GOOD though; I think it needs more love than StD.

[@shay-car]

I will read anything she writes!!! She has a story compilation called Lips Touch Three Times that is also beautiful. Daughter of Smoke and Bone is a dear favorite of mine. Definitely top 5.

[@heather9130]

Heading to the library today. I'm excited to try some of these! The Night Circus was a surprise random find because I was obsessed with the cover and concept. It's still one of the most artistic beautiful novels I have ever read. I put that night circus into my D&D campaign. The imagery is mind blowing, the characters are wonderful. An all time favorite for me. I just want to spend more time in the circus.

[@samgunther3955]

[@sarahl7968]

I’ve read every single one of Rebecca Ross’ books and I love them so much! The Isle Of Cadence duology has to be one of my absolute favourite from her! So magical, so passionate, truly a delightful read. If you haven’t read anything of Rebecca Ross’ yet and you’re searching for some good fantasy reads I highly recommend giving her a go. Happy reading everyone! ❤️

[@emilybastong3896]

I almost cried with joy when you mentioned the Graceling series. I loved them when I was a teen and must have read them a thousand times. I only recently reread the first three books and I like them all, but I especially loved Fire, because it has this component of breaking family cycles, which I as a traumatized kid love to pieces (along with found family). But overall it's a great series and when I reread it I was really surprised how healthy the romances were, as you usually find pretty toxic relationships in YA. But other than that, I could write so many books down on my TBR, so thank you sincerely for making this video

[@jeremyweitendorf6723]

I’m not a huge fantasy or romance reader, but I really enjoyed the whole Caraval trilogy. I’d really like to re-read the first book at some point because it was such an exciting time

[@kimberlybea2885]

Speaking of older fantasy romance, I highly recommend Sharon Shinn, particularly her book Summers at Castle Auburn. It's an excellent comfort read for me, and kind of reminds me of Margaret Rogerson.

[@ashkchm]

IM SO GLAD TO SEE EMILY WILDES ON HERE!!!! that book was so cozy and i will definitely be rereading it again, and the romance was light enough that i felt it didn’t overshadow the plot and emily’s overall goals and i absolutely loved that

[@Yoongisonlywife]

When you started with Once Upon A Broken Heart series I knew you had my heart and I'm adding all these to my TBR

[@valentineboudaud1887]

One of my favourite fantasy romance is the binding by Bridget Collins. I absolutely loved the bookish cottage core vibe and how the romance blossoms slowly but beautifuly and how it breaks your heart just as much as it warms it too !

[@Artfully_J]

The clockwork trilogy is an all time favorite of mine. I’m looking at them on my shelves right now, and am tempted to read them a third time ❤ I enjoyed Erin’s and Laini’s books, as well.

[@vanshikaaggarwal5532]

I love how you described the Infernal Devices series!! If there's ever a book I wish I could read for the first time again, it's this one. It's the best series in the Shadowhunter world!!

[@ElizziebethBooks]

I love love love the Graceling series so much! Thank you for putting it in this video! Not only is the romance wonderful, but the main characters are all such good and varied examples of strong female characters. I also haven't read the two newest books, but Bitterblue is my favorite, although I feel like Bitterblue might have the least amount of romance. Also would recommend looking up trigger warnings for them, especially Bitterblue!!

[@chaabanihiba6149]

An Ember in the Ashes is such a great series too i think Hannah forgot to mention it but it's definitely a must read.

[@SabribriRei]

Thank you for the Strange the Dreamer love! Definitely has stuck with me since I read it and one of my favorite YA series (and put Laini Taylor as one of my favorite authors). This also solidified that I'll like your reccs haha. (I am also currently reading Emily Wilde's Encyclopeadia of Faeries 😂)

[@arwenkruijer8556]

THE NIGHT CIRCUS AND STARLESS SEA OML ARE SOO GOODDD I LOVE THEM SOSOSOSOOS MUCH IM LITTERLY OBSESSED ❤❤❤

[@AmyGwaine]

I ALWAYS recommend Sorcery of Thorns to people. It's such a good book. I had a lot of fun with the Remnant Chronicles trilogy by Mary E. Pearson. Especially the first book. I read it with my coworker so we had so much fun talking about the will they won't they of the love triangle and all that. (Not the best thing I've read but really fun, especially as a buddy read lol)

[@haleydarko2989]

The Remnant Chronicles and the Theives duology have to be one of the best romance fantasy series out there! ❤

[@spudrina]

The Dangerous Damsels series is a really fun one!! They're regency era fantasies with lady pirates and witches and flying battlehouses and it's just a silly goofy time with really lovable characters and amazing romances 🥰 the first (The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels) and the third (The Secret Service of Tea and Treason) are my absolute favorites

[@chloestewart7835]

So excited to make my way through this list! A few recommendations of my own: 1) A Natural History of Dragons (Series), definitely a lot less romance in this one, but it really reminded me of Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries and I think if you liked one you will like the other. 2) The City of Brass (Trilogy), I just finished it and it has quickly become one of my favorites of all time, great romance, great fantasy. 3) The Magician's Daughter, not a romance at all, but some very strong Howl's Moving Castle vibes

[@katie_a1075]

A daughter of smoke and bone will be my forever favorite series. I can’t get over how beautiful her writing is.

[@azureayrmel4963]

My cousin gave me a book from the Regency Faerie Tales series called "Half a Soul" by Olivia Atwater and I am SO in love with it! It is such an easy read, great vibes, I loved the dynamic that the main couple had; everything about it was wonderful and so incredibly cute! It's set in Regency England/London and the fantasy aspect of it are the faeries and the faerie world. There are other books in this universe that I would recommend checking out as well, but I would consider "Half a Soul" to be standalone enough. I'm obsessed with it and I can't stop thinking about it! Love your videos Hannah

[@xJillie]

I love this one!! totally second this recommendation

[@azureayrmel4963]

I'm honestly surprised that I haven't seen many others talk about it! Glad to see another fan! :D @@xJillie

I didn’t read Strange the Dreamer until last year, and OMG it is my all time favorite series now, I am obsessed and I just got done meeting the author at a book signing she did recently in my state and I such a fanboy now!

[@nuriakim7728]

Finally, A Far Wilder Magic getting the recognition it deserves!! And the Night Circus is such a classic

[@lgabymoran]

I had access to the A Sorcery of Thorns ebook recently and remembered your recommendation so I went into it... it was great! I thought I was too old for the genre but this book reminded me of what had made me so invested in the first place. I would say it's half Howl's Moving Castle and half Black Butler 🧐

[@katiehands2633]

The Infernal Devices is the best Shadowhunter series. One of my favorite fantasy series in general.

[@AdriGoddess]

Amazing list! The Shepherd King duology ("One Dark Window", "Two Twisted Crowns") is amazing. More on the gothic side than fantasy but it's a beautiful two-piece series. They work so well together. Chef's kiss. Also "Starling House" is another great fantasy book. It's a bit more on the gothic side as well.

[@caitlyn.m.t9618]

I am thrilled to see Strange the Dreamer here, and yeah people have stopped talking about it which is such a shame. I really do need another Laini Taylor book and soon.

[@mariealhinho7283]

I think you'd love Half a Soul, by Olivia Atwater! It is a fae fantasy romance set in Regency England and the male main character definitely reminded me of Howl. Also, A Winter's Promise, by Christelle Dabos. A very veryyy slow burn marriage of convenience romance set in a fantasy wold reminicent of all the best Ghibli movies!

[@emilybastong3896]

I'd also like to add to this list: 1) Girl, Goddess, Queen by Bea Fitzgerald Arguably it's more Greek mythology retelling than fantasy romance, but I absolutely loved it. It's a very feminist retelling of Hades and Persephone and the cover is absolutely gorgeous. 2) A Witch's Guide To Fake Dating A Demon by Sarah Hawley It's urban fantasy romance between a witch and the demon she accidentally summoned who now would like to purchase her soul. Problem is he recently acquired his own human soul which now creates a lot of weird feelings... Be prepared for some heavy, though thoroughly consented smut and possibly a new kink (demon horns anyone? *cough*)

[@roguetaco5487]

Kindle recommended the fake dating book on my homepage yet I wasn't sure it was with it. Although now it does sound like a fun read to me. Adding it my tbr 😉

I'm actually going through all of her books in some "recommended order" I found online, so I read the first 3 Shadowhunter books, then Infernal Devices then I go back to finish the shadowhunter series, then on... I'm really enjoying them all so far. I also read the Strange the Dreamer duology earlier this year, which was also amazing! I think I've read at least half of the books you mentioned in this video, this year after discovering your channel, so Thank You for some of my now all time favorite books! ❤

THIS is the kind of fantasy romance that is absolutely my taste - atmospheric, beautiful and romantic.

Some of my absolute favourites are on this list, as well as a few that I still need to get to!

[@lou-xr5rz]

Everything you said about The Infernal Devices was just perfect. 😭 That series single handedly fuelled my love for fantasy romance, and I will never get over it, even though it's been years since I first read it.

I agree with you on the night circus, I LOVE the characters and the romance in it, this video is making me want to read it again since so far I’ve actually only read it the once but it’s definitely also one of my favourite books!

[@asterismos5451]

I adored So This is Ever After, just the silliest and most fun book. Also East by Edith Pattou is one of my all-time favourite books though I'd maybe call it more cozy fantasy or adventure than a romance exactly. I think it's maybe fair to call Carry On a fantasy romance, too. I had a fun time with The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels a few months ago and I really enjoyed A Taste of Gold and Iron. That one was a lot more plot-heavy than the others I've listed but still fantasy romance. I also strongly recommend some webcomics/graphic novels (available as either): Finding Home by Hari Conner, The Sea in You, Les Normaux (unfinished currently), and Fangs by Sarah Andersen.

[@jendra9549]

Night Circus was the book that took me from a casual reader to a book obsessed crazy person 😂

And more books are going on my TBR! Lol and I HIGHLY agree with you on The Night Circus, The Starless Sea, Strange The Dreamer, Caraval, and The Clockwork Angel!

@@skzstaybtsbulletprooftoget3693 Hi! There was one steamy chapter but it was so brief it could easily be skipped. There is cursing but it wasn’t over the top whatsoever. I have a hard time giving age ratings because it really depends on the person, it is labeled as adult fantasy/romance so I think it’s safe to assume 17+ for the content, but in terms of reading level I’d say it read more like a young adult novel. :) Hope this helps!

Fantasy-Romance books to add: 1) Silver in the Wood - A short story duology with fantasy m/m romance 2) the Paper Magician by Charlie Holmberg - victorian set fantasy inwhich the apprentice must magically travel through her teacher's heart in order to save him (grumpy/sunshine and age gap tropes). 3) any Charlie Holmberg books as most are light/urban fantasy with romance

Divine rivals is so so so good, like I’ve read a lot of books this year and loved a lot of books this year but divine rivals still makes me so excited and interested just hearing about it. It stands above the rest for me

Tips for removing stickers on book, use a hair dryer and a blade. I work at a used book store and we take stickers off all the time using this method. Then use goo gone of there is sticky residue left over. Works like a charm!
