This is a truly fantastic anthology of short stories for Romantasy fans. As with all collections like this some were more to my taste than others but every story was well written and original.

Among my favourites were Kelley Armstrong’s “Designated Virgin sacrifice”, about a girl who decides to step up and slay the world’s monsters, it’s a sweet story with an excellent twist and A.C. Wise’s cute urban love story “Slay the princess, save the dragon”.

By far the standout for me was Kelly Andrew’s beautiful time travel love story, “Until December”. She was a new author to me and I will definitely be looking at her other work.

Overall, this book is the one that I am going to recommend when someone has just devoured Fourth Wing and A Court of Thorns and Roses and is wondering what to read next because they will find their next favourite Romantasy author here.

Honestly anthologies are really hard to review because some stories will work better in this shorter condensed form than others. Many of the stories follow a similar formula since the authors are condensed in a way that does not spring off of original material like fanfiction does so there is a lot of world building done.
My favorite stories were Until December, The King's Witch, Designated Virgin Sacrifice, Slay the Princess Save the Dragon, and Rosebud.

I loved this! It had a lot of different authors such as Olivie Blake (who I adore) and had a mix of romance, paranormal and fantasy stories. I love books like this whether you are unable to have time to sit down to read a full story or in a reading slump that you can dip in and out of but still have to e satisfaction of reading a great story! It was such an easy book to read and I throughly recommend.

This was such a great compilation book filled with a great mix of authors combing both romance and fantasy into a great variety of stories. I love books like this whether you are unable to have time to sit down to read a full story or in a reading slump that you can dip in and out of but still have to e satisfaction of reading a great story! This was the first I’ve seen of romance and a bit of supernatural so that was a really fun aspect
