Romantasy

I just heard about this genre mashup–Romance+Fantasy–through Anne Helen Petersen's podcast, where she discussed the A Court of Thorn and Roses series by Sarah J. Maas (a.k.a ACOTAR) with fellow culture writer Constance Grady.

After listening to the podcast and reading the non-spoiler-y part of Grady's piece about the series I'm all in, regardless of whether it has some problematic elements.
