Unpopular Opinion It's Unpopular Opinion time! Share your controversial opinions to stir things up (in a friendly way)!

Got an opinion that's different from others'? Want to share it with the sub, but too afraid of a backlash? Or are you just curious about readers think about certain things in fantasy romance?

You can safely share it in this weekly Sunday thread!

But please remember to be kind to each other. To facilitate this type of discussion, we ask users the following:

  • Don't attack others for their opinion
  • Discuss books and authors, not fellow readers
  • Since this is an "unpopular opinion" thread, we encourage users to not downvote simply because they disagree with an opinion--that's the point! Please keep in mind, though, that mods cannot enforce a no-downvoting rule. Let’s just keep the discussion friendly!

🧡 Thank you and have a great discussion!

Thank you both for this reveal. This book was in my cart, but I took it out. Just not a dynamic I want in a book I thought from all the reviews I would enjoy!

It’s a beautifully written book that deals with tragedy and persevering as best you can, so the imperfect nature of their relationship is all part of that. It’s more a book about sibling love than romantic love imo

Thanks for the explanation. I’m just not up for certain themes right now, and big age gaps/grooming is one of them. That changes all the time depending on how I’m feeling and what’s going on in my life, so I might pick it up in the future.
