PANEL: "Romantasy: Best of Two Genres? ", Worth the Hype?

  • Online Singapore Singapore (map)

There’s a new buzzword in publishing: Romantasy. Is it more romance and spice than conventional fantasy? Is it a taster for the fantasy genre for new readers? Will this "$610 million business", as reported by Bloomberg, continue to skyrocket or is this a slow burn romance destined to end in consumer fatigue?

Join us as we discuss the popularity of works such as Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros and A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J. Maas, fun or questionable tropes, and the gripes of fantasy writers and readers.
