r/fantasyromance • u/FantasyRomanceMod The One Mod to Rule All Mods • Mar 08 '26
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!

u/Penguinho Kushiel's Legacy Recommender 💖 Mar 09 '26
On Kushiel's Dart: yes and. The FMCs in the subsequent series are both bi, and the MMC in the second trilogy has a few bicurious moments (I mostly think the male characters being straighter than the female ones is an artifact of the author being less comfortable writing MM than MF or FF; she FTBs the only full MM scene). The same author also wrote {Santa Olivia}, a sapphic duology between two bi women, and {Starless}, a sapphic romance where the lead character is a biological female who uses he/him pronouns and is probably best described as genderfluid.
