The prerequisite to tradition romantasy has always included explicit sexual content. I tried to follow that when I initially started creating this list, but soon realised how restrictive and reductive it can be. So I became lax with that criteria.

Since this list has grown in size, it has myriad of different queer fantasy. There are some books here that contain explicit content with heavy mature themes. There are also YA where romance takes a backseat. This goes against the ethos of any list, which is that it is supposed to be unique and exclusionary.

I believe this distinction is necessary, so I created a companion list to this one. All the YA romantasy and fantasy romance go there. I’ve transferred some titles over there, so they aren’t here.

i think when the tides held the moon by venessa vida kelley may work for this list!!

Cursed Cocktails by S.L. Rowland would fit!

Also To Shape a Dragon's Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose

I'll come back when/if I think of more ☺️

Waiting on a bright moon, by neon yang but its under their old name j.y yang on here. Its a short space opera

dark rise is a neat gay romantasy series that could fit here :)

Ooo you should add Faebound!!! I loved it so much. Lesbian romantacy elves.

Cool list! Also, I recommend you Legend of the White Snake by Sher Lee and Cemetery Boys and The Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas (even though though for the last one, it’s not focused on romance, there’s still romance and it’s in a fantasy setting!)

nice!!! thank you for the list

So many good titles here!

A Dark and Drowning Tide by Allison Saft!
