Fantasy Romance Recommendations For Fans of Sarah J. Maas // 2021

[@salmamohd6025]

Just finished a court of silver Flames .... I cried through out the last few chapters, and I'm in love with this book

[@sabeenmunir2802]

I loved it to, I kind of lost respect for Rhys though.

[@salmamohd6025]

@@sabeenmunir2802 why?

[@sabeenmunir2802]

@@salmamohd6025 He didn’t tell Feyre that she might die. He is always portrayed to be this amazing feminist king but in my opinion he isn’t. He knew Nesta was depressed and had anxiety but he didn’t get her help. All he did was punish her. I still love all of the other characters but I lost a lot of respect for him during this book.

[@salmamohd6025]

@@sabeenmunir2802 I think you just have a very high opinion of him and that's not fair... He is not perfect, he makes mistakes and he was in a situation where he didn't know what to do... And about Nesta he doesn't like her whatsoever since the start and he said that to Feyra, and he did try to help her for his mate but all she did was abuse everyone... So that's my opinion only

[@devanshiaggarwal7120]

@@sabeenmunir2802 I think it had more to do with the fact (about Nesta i mean) that, despite her character development in that book, she did mentally abuse Feyre for half of her life. Most people just see Tamlin's abuse towards Feyre but very few have seen how Nesta treated her sister and made her feel very low, which is mental abuse too so. I think it will take him time to get over it in the remaining books yet to be published for this series. As for Feyre, I think it was more because he didn't want to cause her stress that might have led to health issue due to her pregnancy and also the fact that, albeit it being false hope, he thought he'd find a solution to her situation before it came to the point where it was unavoidable. Overall, I think I respect him more than any other Male leads, even Rowan Whitethorn from ToG and Hunt Athalar from CC.

Rhapsodic ,From Blood and Ash, and Serpent and Dove took me out of my reading slump. 10/10 best fantasy romance books I've read in years. The 3rd book in the From Blood and Ash series put me on such a book hangover I couldn't start another book for almost a week. Im obsessed 😫 March 2022 can't come soon enough.

[@Hyperfixationqueen2992]

I read ACOSF in 16 hours and it is amazing. I loved it and I can’t wait to hear what you think about it!

[@sakurahan91]

The All Souls series by Deborah Harkness is my favourite paranormal romance series! I highly recommend it! ACOTAR is my favourite high fantasy romance series! I’m starting my reread of ACOTAR tomorrow after I get my review for Shadow Of Night, book 2 in the All Souls series finished.

[@BethJoey]

Love the All Souls series!!! have you watched the show as well?

[@sakurahan91]

YAAAAAAAAAY!!! I’ve watched season 1! I’ve got one episode to rewatch tonight, then I’m on to season 2 tomorrow! Can’t wait! I’m trying to take watching it slowly, so I don’t have to wait too long for season 3! 😅😂.

[@BethJoey]

@@sakurahan91 haha the worst part of season 2 was knowing I had to wait ages for more 😂

[@VelvetLibrary]

I'm so ready to hear your thoughts about ACOSF because I need to scream with someone😂 Every time you talk about Rhapsodic I'm mad at myself for not reading it yet. I think Fortuna Sworn needs to be my immediate read after ACOSF😍

[@lilithnox5955]

Ahhhh thank you ! I did a mistake of starting a few series that are unfinished so i am going crazy here haha. Kingdom of Runes, The Kingdom of the Wicked and now reading ACOTAR series. This will save my life while waiting for new books in the series 🖤

[@karenperkins8287]

Great recommendations! For something similar to FBAA and Throne of Glass, I’d suggest The Tainted Accords series by Kelly St Clare.

[@BethJoey]

Not able to read ACOSF yet because I haven't read the rest of the series :( Looooove Fortuna Sworn though so I'm so happy it's on your list!!

[@hyacinthh6900]

Such a great video! Thank you much for author/titles in description. More than helpful. Wish more followed your example. Good job!!!

[@Gabiereads]

What lipstick are you wearing I LOVE IT! Also thank you so much for this video ❤

[@Tarasreadingnook]

Want to read all these

[@imaginariumofvanessanicole]

Thanks to your recommendation I read the “fortuna sworn” series and went all the way down the rabbit hole and read all four in a weekend. I also am in love with Laurie. Thank you! 😉😂

[@badandbookiee9081]

Yes!!!😩😩 I’ve been struggling to fill the void!!!🙈 been hoping someone would post a video like this!

[@nikkiheide5447]

Promise of Fire was just spectacular! I love the sarcastic inter monolog and banter. And give me all the forced proximity tropes. Now to wait for book two to come in on my library loans......

[@ELLA00BELLA]

I thank you for your recommendations! Rhapsodic and Fortuna Sworn came last week's, and I finished ACOSF late last night... I am very interested about "a promise of fire", i actually watched someone else recommend it and it did not interest me as much as when we you talked about it... I am hooked and will be ordering it soon! Keep making these amazing videos. Sara J Mass rocks!!!!

[@ilovedogsines]

Just read Fortuna Sworn! Thank you so much for the rec I loved it!

[@BeccaandTheBooks]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@SwedishNonsense]

The only one I haven't read of these is Fortuna Sworn so I'll try that next! Totally agree with all your recommendations too. I'm pretty sure I put this in your last fantasy romance rec's but the aspect and anchor series by ruby dixon is what got me through my last SJM-induced slump after reading house of earth and blood. The darkest drae trilogy by raye wagner is also really good butttttt it takes a turn where it sort of starts off as new adult/adult and then turn YA half way through second/third book which is incredibly frustrating.

[@BeccaandTheBooks]

Added book 1 of aspect and anchor to my goodreads! Thanks for the rec 😘

[@SwedishNonsense]

@@BeccaandTheBooks oh yay!! I've never heard anyone talk about it on booktube, makes me really sad because I adore it!

[@Loonadance1212]

I just bought Rhapsodic on your recommendation and im really excited to get to it 😍

[@tarareads23]

I marathoned ACOMAF, ACOWAR and ACOFAS in January for the release of ACOSF. Which I still have to wait because I’m going to read the ebook from my library and it said 3 weeks. 😩 I’m number 28 (was 60 when I put it on hold last week) with 73 copies in use. Went down kind of quickly so I might get before the 3 weeks. Anyway, I love fantasy and love romance and those two together, I’ve been itching for more to read especially after that unofficial readathon I gave myself. lol I have From Blood and Ash. Read a little. Couldn’t really get into it. Was spoiled on some things and I actually guessed a major plot point just from something that wasn’t a spoiler. lol But FBAA seems like it would be the type of book I’d love to read. I’ll try it again one day. And had no clue a third is coming out in March and that it’s going to be a six book series. 😱 I’m reading a fantasy romance now that I loved the first two books the romance - which wasn’t that heavy to begin with and the political intrigue. But now the romance in the third and final book is pretty much nonexistent which I have a feeling will pick up after certain events take place. But the other parts of the book are really really good. I just want romance in my fantasy right now! lol So I’m going to read something else and check out all these books (except one) and see if I’ll give those a go to. And of course I don’t want to knock anyone but why did your description of Rhapsodic make me want to read it more than someone else’s. lol Probably the whole Desmond Flynn/Rhysand character. lol Thanks for the recs! 😀

[@christinelareads]

This is the best video ever! Adding every single one to my TBR (From Blood and Ash is on my March TBR!) 😍

[@4eva123]

OKAY FIIIINE I guess I now just haaave to buy A Promise of Fire

[@Napynthe]

Kingdom of Runes by Audrey Grey is really good. Also, Evermore Academy by the same author. Evermore Academy is actually what got me into fae and led me to find ACOTAR. Guild Codex: Demonized by Annette Marie is SO GOOD, too. Annette Marie also has a more YA series called Steel & Stone, which is really good and it’s supposed to have a spin off series set several years after the events of the last book of Steel & Stone. I think the first book in that series is supposed to release this year. Sorry if I have recommended these on your channel before. I have recommended them to several people, but I can’t remember who.

You should read the Kate Daniels series! It’s urban fantasy - but very well done and I loved the love interest

Read 5 or 6 of these, they are pretty good! Seems like the main character in a promise of fire takes a lot of characteristics from Kate Daniels
