You Weren't Meant to Be Human
Andrew Joseph White

abookishweekend commented...
my issue with romantasy (as someone that reads romantasy occasionally) is that people don’t seem to understand the difference between romantasy and a fantasy with romance
So I have mixed feelings about romantasy as a label. I feel like when it started to get really popular a lot of books (the cruel prince is a really good example of this) were talked about as romantasy even though the romance was very much a side plot. I also sometimes hear people explaining poor writing with the idea that we shouldn't expect good writing from Romantasy. This argument has always annoyed me because whether you love or hate romantasy, I think we should all expect at least decent writing from any published literature.
P.S. I absolutely believe that anyone can love whatever books they want, this is not a criticism of romantasy fans or any individual book and for those loving the popularity of romantasy, I am so happy for you!!!
