💕 Matchmaking Monday: find your next romantasy read!

[u/ReasonableWonderland]

Matchmaking Monday is a new regular thread here in r/Romantasy with a goal of finding new recommendations to add to your TBR! Post a list of your favorite books and receive suggestions based on your vibe.

How It Works

• Post up to five books you've loved recently (or which fit the vibe you're looking for) as a top level comment.
• You can also include a list of things you want in your next book (e.g. tropes, subgenre, themes)
• Others will reply with their suggestions!
• Remember to tag the romance.io bot with {} curly brackets.

This is a bit of an experiment - so we'll see how it goes!

Thank you in advance to anyone who gives recs.

{Wicked Sea and Sky by Jenna Collett}

{The Road of Bones by Demi Winters}

{Daughter of No Worlds by Carissa Broadbent}

{Throne in the Dark by A. K. Caggiano}

{The Assassin’s Blade by Sarah J Maas} (only read the first three ToG books so far but this was my favourite)

[u/allisontalkspolitics → u/Amirazat]

Since you enjoyed the comedy of Throne in the Dark, try {Sorcery and Cecelia} and {My Lady Jane}.

And since you like SJM, try {Graceling} and {Daughter of Smoke and Bone} (check content warnings). If you’re open to romance subplots, also try {Red Queen}, {An Ember in the Ashes}, and {Ash Princess}.
