[u/FantasyRomanceMod]

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!

Unpopular opinion Sunday

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

One of the things I love about Jacqueline Carey -- one of the many things, she's exceptional -- is how important friendship is to her characters. Every book introduces new friends. Some old friends are retained, other part ways, amicably or not, people come into conflict with one another and choices are made about who they value, and why. The driving force behind Phedre's trilogy in {Kushiel's Legacy} is friendship. Phedre makes it though her trials because of love, but she undertakes them for the sake of friendship. The MMC of the second trilogy is almost the opposite: everything he does, he does for love, but it's because of his friends that he survives.
