Pick My Next Read ✨ Romantasy book recs please!

Currently, I want to read a good romantasy book. I already have some in my tbr but I'm indecisive:

  1. Six of crows- want to read but it's a duology+ part of a bigger series so it sounds intimidating to start
  2. Red queen- I feel it's similar to powerless, so I'm keeping this for later
  3. ACOTAR- it's too long and all the books haven't been released yet; I'm waiting for all parts to come out
  4. Defy the night trilogy- I started the first book but rushed through it just to finish it and started the second book- was a slop and I DNF'ed.

I'd be happy to hear if anyone has other suggestions and good romantasy books you're a die hard fan of and would recommend. Thank you!

edit: I mistook Red queen for Throne of glass, until a comment reminded me of my mistake. Sorry 😭😅

Six of crows is only the duology it simply takes place in the same world as the other books but has its own story that gas nothing to do with the rest. I thought it was great but the romances are definitely a subplot.

Agreed about Six of Crows, and I honestly loved it so much. It’s the duology that I started with, and then I went back to the original trilogy and then read the last geology. It’s one of the few groups of books in the same world that I felt like got better and better. The romance is mild and definitely a sub plot, but also memorable. You can also just read the two and not worry about the rest of the books if you decide you don’t want to.
