On a Fourth Wing hangover? Here are the best romantasy books to read next

Dive into a new fantastical world and a romantic storyline - (The Standard)

There comes a time in every avid reader’s life when they must put away serious things and take up more (im)mature ones. Rebecca Yarros’ Fourth Wing was the first novel to shift my perspective on the BookTok-dubbed genre of ‘romantasy’.

While I’m not hailing it as a piece of prized literature, I can safely declare it to be an enthralling book with well-developed characters and the perfect balance of romance and fantasy. Chances are you agree, or else you wouldn’t have landed on this article. Yarros’ latest instalment, Threshing Day, was released on 29 September – and if you’ve already torn through its 13 stories, you’re in the right place.
