Romantasy, a blend of romance and fantasy, has rapidly transformed from a niche genre to a cultural phenomenon, spurred by social media and massive book sales. The recent release of Rebecca Yarros's Onyx Storm marked a significant event in this trend, achieving record-breaking sales within days. The genre's popularity is fueled by nostalgia for fantasy classics and its appeal to modern readers, particularly women. Romantasy celebrates themes of friendship, agency, and sexuality, reinvigorating the fantasy genre's representation of female characters.
"In just five years, a genre born during the pandemic has evolved from a niche offshoot of young adult fiction to a once-in-a-generation phenomenon."
"The Empyrean series is set in Basgiath War College for elite dragon riders, an unholy mix of Hogwarts and Top Gun."
