Great video! My thoughts exactly on ' romantasy ' / romantic fantasy. I used to love reading it but outgrown it because everything is the same. Love the break down you did. Wishing you more subscribers ! 🙂

I don’t mind romantasy existing, I just can’t stand how it’s being shoved down my throat. It’s harder to find fantasy without romance in it. I found Fourth Wing independent of the hype, and I won’t deny that I had a good time reading it. But honestly, I think that’s because I truly didn’t care about whatever romance violet and xaden had; I was there for the dragons lol. All the sexual tension and stuff went in one ear and out the other, I was reading the non-dragon parts to get to the dragons lol. Iron Flame is definitely worse and the ending is incredibly stupid. Also, I’m of the opinion that a person who truly cannot read a book without spice doesn’t like reading, they enjoy using books to consume pornography. I don’t think that’s a bad thing, but I don’t think they’re readers.

I absolutely agree. I also think that the dragons were the strongest aspect of Fourth Wing. I need to read up on the Iron Flame ending I think. I am too nosy :D especially with the third book coming out soon. I can't wait to see the reviews of what is likely to be a total mess.

@@theatomicannie Xaden turns into a venin to save Violet for some reason, I think she was being threatened by a venin lord or something and xaden turned into one to save her? I don’t fully remember, I just remember hearing it through the audiobook and being like, “that’s… so dumb.” Especially since the reveal of it was cringy and melodramatic.
