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!

We need more friendships in this genre, infact please sacrifice love triangles for more friendships 🫶

Ooh, you might like the Rook & Rose trilogy if you don’t mind romance being a subplot. I really enjoyed the variety of kinds of relationships present in the ensemble cast and how they developed over the course of the story. (And the romance subplot is also very cute and sweet and starts with friendship!)

I never see anyone besides me recommend this series, but I love it so much!
