It's love, it's whimsy, it's lite sci-fi/romance, it's New York City! I love when a story is unique to the point of being oddball, and this one qualifies. A young woman meets another young woman who turns out to have been stuck in a time loop on the NYC subway since the 1970s. When they fall in love over several train rides together, can they find a way to take their relationship out of the subway tunnels, or is this an unbreakable spell? Sapphic modern romance with an urban fantasy/sci-fi twist: give it a try!
For cynical twenty-three-year-old August, moving to New York City is supposed to prove her right: that things like magic and cinematic love stories don't exist, and the only smart way to go through life is alone. She can't imagine how waiting tables at a 24-hour pancake diner and moving in with too many weird roommates could possibly change that. And there's certainly no chance of her subway commute being anything more than a daily trudge through boredom and electrical failures.
But then, there's this gorgeous girl on the train.
Jane. Dazzling, charming, mysterious, impossible Jane. Jane with her rough edges…
Queer fantasy for the win! (You'll notice this is a subgenre I often like.) This novel has court intrigue with plenty of intelligence, but also a slow-burn romance with plenty of swoon, in what I consider the perfect proportions. It's also got a touch of magic, giving its fantasy country some extra spice. The characters kept surprising me in delightful ways—the seemingly cowardly prince showing his ferocity at some moments, and the stoic bodyguard/soldier coming through with his tender side. I was cheering for their blossoming love while also genuinely invested in the mystery of who was trying to infiltrate and destroy the kingdom. I'm excited to read more from Rowland!
A sweeping fantasy romance inspired by the Ottoman Empire, A Taste of Gold and Iron by Alexandra Rowland is perfect for fans of A Marvellous Light and The Goblin Emperor.
'A delicious tangle of romance, fealty and dangerous politics' - Tasha Suri, author of The Jasmine Throne
One false coin could topple an empire.
Kadou, the shy prince of Arasht, has no intention of wrestling for imperial control with his sister, the queen. Yet he remains at odds with one of the most powerful ambassadors at court - the father of the queen's new child. Then a hunting party goes…
I love fantasy but find it stressful to read so-called dark fantasy or stories with a lot of trauma and evil. On the flip side, a lot of cozy fantasy focuses on setting and vibes, with less action or plot conflict. Wooing the Witch Queen is a perfect mix. Felix is tired of being a pawn for his family and runs away when he suspects they plan to murder him; with nothing to lose, he heads for the castle of the sorceress everyone fears, Saskia. When he arrives, she assumes he is a wizard responding to her job posting for a librarian and hires him. The story has enough conflict with the politics brewing and the secrets being kept, but Saskia is powerful so that the story is not too stressful. A lot of time is spent in the castle as the couple falls for each other, and the story…
Wooing the Witch Queen by Stephanie Burgis is the start of a delightful, funny and seductive romantasy trilogy, set in a gaslamp-lit world where hags and ogres lurk in thick pine forests and genteel court intrigues can turn deadly . . .
'This is a warm and lovely story with a big heart' - Sangu Mandanna, bestselling author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches
Queen Saskia is the wicked sorceress everyone fears. After successfully wrestling the throne from her evil uncle, she only wants one thing: to keep her people safe from the empire next door. For that,…
Books & Broadswords contains two novellas and each was a perfect, low-stress romantasy in which a human falls in love with a person who is secretly non-human. The stories focus on the characters getting to know each other and had low-stakes plots: Feora steals the king's gold to buy books until a persistent knight begins interfering, and Zenira is forced to sell her beloved rock collection to pay the rent, and sets off to find a mysterious collector. The fantasy worlds were not anything unusual, but that made it so easy to slip into them quickly and enjoy the stories, and the emotions felt real. They were perfect bedtime reading.
This novella-length volume includes two romantic fantasy stories set in a shared world, each with a guaranteed happily ever after, plus a new bonus epilogue.Books & BroadswordsThe only thing Feora likes more than stealing the king’s gold is using it to buy books.
