Are you a fan of romantasy?
Definitely coming to the realisation that I am not really a fantasy or romantasy person, but the books are always so beautiful, and I get fomo when I get people opening their book subscriptions 😂😂 I wish some did the same for thrillers which are much more my thing
Do you get Evernight? I really wish that was monthly.
That’s fair Jeanette. I definitely like a mix of genres, but fall in love with some fantasy worlds. There are channels out there that focus on other genres; and have you looked at Goldsboro for thrillers? They do some AMAZING editions of so many different genres. Definitely read what you enjoy the most ❤️ (maybe I’ll have to look for more thriller special editions! 🥰🥰🥰). Hope that you’re well lovely x
I am SOO happy that I have the romantasy box, I have LOVED both of these books, they are soo beautiful. Cant wait to see what the next months book is!
These books are soooooo beautiful! Hope you enjoy the next one Bella ❤️
I am in the same boat with this Romantasy sub. I applied to the waiting list in May 2023 and got the 1st book, but I think I'll cancel it because I skipped the May book and June will soon follow. I noticed that because the market is so saturated with romantasy options that I tend to get more picky with what I choose, but of course that doesn't happen with a book box where I can't pick the specific book that I want. I just assumed they were going to have more backlist popular romantasy books in their box and not just new releases. Maybe in the year that passed since me applying to the waiting and now finally receiving the books, my reading taste has developed/changed, so I am not as excited as I thought I was going to be. On top of everything, they're expensive for me considering interational shipping costs. I'm sure that someone who's more excited than me to get their hands on these gorgeous books will appreciate me cancelling my subcription lol
Same here- also got the April book and skipped May and June. Pretty sure this isn’t the sub for me.
I agree. I’m wowed by the design but not by the books (nothing against the chosen books, but they’re just not something that I would pick up in a shop).
I might have to do some skips and see how I feel 😬
I really love the look and sound of this one! I think this subscription is right up my street, but feel the way you do about Illumicrate! I’ve only enjoyed 2/5 of their books so far this year, but I love getting the goodies! It’s a hard choice to make, but not fun to push through books we don’t enjoy!
Hope you’re well!
We are very much on the same wavelength then Linz!
I’m going to keep going with Illumicrate for now; but I might have to do some skips if I feel the books aren’t for me 😬 which makes me so sad, but no point min having books on my shelves that won’t ever be read.
I’m good thanks lovely (just busy with work at the moment). Hope that you’re well!!! X
Mine arrives Monday. I'm stoked. I love wolves
Oooooh excited for you!
Oh this is pretty. I'm enjoying seeing what FL do with this subscription.
me too! The two so far are such nice editions :)
I am not a fan of that reverse dust jacket 🫣 it’s so plain and all red seems like a cheap colour change. I am obsessed with that new cover tho
They did great with the cover :)
I am most definitely a romantasy fan! 🥰 What a lovely special edition this is! 😍
Ah this is so good for you then!!! This edition is sooooo beautiful 🥰
My issue with romantasy is that the main relationships often romanticize toxic relationships. While some people argue that we should be able to separate our reading from our real lives, I can’t help but think that some of this will bleed into the kind of men some women would end up choosing (especially with the whole thing about book boyfriends being better than our actual men). It’s easy to say we should keep them separate, but who is guiding the more impressionable women who won’t be able to do that on their own? Of course this also applies to queer relationships too, but the common toxic relationships are written between a male and female main character.
This is my main problem, too. The guy is almost always jealous, possessive, stalker-ish and threatening violence to people other than the MC- if not outright violent. If someone could write a romantasy with all the fantasy elements and a normal, non-toxic romance, I’d read it!
Absolutely agree! … and I hate it too!!! Normalising toxic relationships makes me so angry. This is why I’m so confused how this character can be ‘in love’ when she’s never even laid eyes on them 🤬
@@MichelleReadsandVlogs yup! I have started just quitting and dnf’ing books like this (or not even starting them). I hate that we are romanticizing unhealthy relationships ugh!
That's a really pretty book. Blue is my favourite colour. I also love the edges; probably prettiest I've ever seen.
The inside of the dust jacket is nice, but not as pretty.
And the hardcover is the best of all these covers. I love it.
As for the end pages; I'm not a fan of this style of character arts, but backgrounds are really nice.
I've got Fairyloot's "A Tempest of Tea" form a reseller today, and they even send it in the original box. I'm so excited to start reading it.
I'm glad that you agree that it's a very pretty edition :)
Ah I hope that you like it! Let me know how it goes x
I’m almost certain I’m going to cancel this sub. I’ll use up my four skips (only two left after skipping May and June!) Based on the picks so far, I’d be shocked if I don’t end up skipping July and August, too.
I was pretty sure when they announced the sub that romantasy wasn’t my thing, but FOMO made me sign up anyway. I just find it very cheesy and predictable. Btw, lol at your comment about how it would be a much shorter book if the MC managed to avoid the guy in the woods. Based on my experience with romantasy, I’d probably enjoy that story much more! 🤣
I feel the same. I definitely signed up with the excitement of it! I think I’m more into fantasy with a side of romance, rather than romance with a side of fantasy. Gimme a strong plot over the smut!
I skipped this month's box because I already have the self-pubbed version on my kindle. This edition is stunning though, I love the blue and red colour combination 😍
It's so pretty! Have you read it yet?
@@MichelleReadsandVlogs I haven't yet but I'm hoping to pick it up in June! I'm planning a vlog where I read the first 3-4 Fairyloot romantasy picks (currently halfway through Lore of the Wilds and it's not going well 🥲)
Seems I am the odd man out. I really have been loving their picks so far. I have read the June book and really enjoyed it. I have skipped April May and June’s Adult FL subs. I have a few other subs and will be canceling a few of them here in the next month or 2. I will be keeping the Romantasy sub.
Sounds like romantasy must really be your thing :) I hope they keep making such gorgeous editions of the books x
I decided to cancel my subscription and free it up for a big fan of these books. I do really enjoy the genre though. This is a great edition.
That's so fair Sara. I think I might be heading the same way. A very pretty book... but might be enjoyed more by someone else.
I skipped this one, because the book was a 1 star for me, so what it actually looks like is interesting…. The sprayed edge is beautiful but the cover isn’t as exciting as it could be… I don’t know, it’s pretty but I’m not upset to have skipped it. Sometime if you do a review of it, I’d watch to see what you thought of the book.
Oh that's interesting... a 1 star sounds like it could be a painful one to read!
