Adult & YA romantasy & fantasy romance books that are unique & addictive

Fresh, original fantasy that makes me feel some type of way. Whether it be the characters, plot, writing style, or worldbuilding, these books stand out from the crowd as unique. Fantasy, and its many sub-genres, is highly saturated and at times it can feel like I'm reading the same story over and over again. This list is sure to surprise and delight even the most seasoned fantasy reader.

Romantasy with a (in my opinion) perfect fantasy/romance balance -as a fantasy lover who doesn't like when the romance takes over

Books by Australian authors in a range of genre's. 🤗 I'm passionate about reading local talent amplifying both big and small scale books and authors alongside one another.

Books with average 4 or more 🌟 ratings and at least 100 points of engagement (reviews & posts) in Pagebound from the Master Fantasy and Romantasy List by readandtellstories. For those times when I want to find highly rated fantasy/romantasy books that aren't necessarily indie, self-pub. Books in a series will include only the first book. I can neither confirm nor deny the right for these books to have these ratings. This list will be updated monthly based on outputs from prime list.

"Magic is just science we don't understand yet."

Fantasy, Romantacy, and Sci-Fi books written by Australian authors.
