4 Fantasy Romance Books to Snuggle Up with This Autumn
As the leaves begin to turn fiery shades of
red and gold, and the air takes on a crisp chill, there's no better time to
cozy up with Gilmore Girls, a hot chocolate, and of course, a book. While there
are plenty of great contemporary romance novels to keep you warm this autumn,
if you’re looking for a chance to sink your teeth into something a little
different, here are four fantasy romance books
that will transport you to different realms, even if it’s just for a little
while.
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
The Night Circus follows Celia and Marco,
two young magicians bound in a competition by their mentors. The circus only
opens at night. Brimming with enchanting performances and magical wonders, it
serves as the perfect backdrop for their rivalry. As Celia and Marco's
abilities grow, so do their feelings for each other, creating a love story that
is as enchanting as the circus itself. Erin Morgenstern's dreamy voice makes this
book a perfect autumn read.
The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden
Katherine Arden's debut novel transports
readers to a frosty medieval Russia. The story follows Vasilisa, a young girl
with a gift for seeing and communing with the spirits of the forest. When her
village falls under the sway of an austere priest and a shadowy evil,
Vasilisa's mystical abilities become lifesaving. Along the way, she encounters
the enigmatic Frost King, Morozko, leading to a slow-burning romance that will
keep you warm on the chilliest nights.
A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas
If you’ve read book one and are umming and
ahhing over opening up book two, this is your sign to do it. It gets way, way
better. In the second instalment of Sarah J. Maas's ACOTAR series, Feyre
Archeron's life has taken a dark turn, and she finds herself in the company of
the mysterious High Lord of the Night Court, Rhysand. As Feyre navigates the
intrigues and dangers of the Faerie world, her relationship with Rhysand
deepens.
Stardust by Neil Gaiman
What better time than Autumn to open up Neil
Gaiman's Stardust, which follows Tristan Thorn on a quest to retrieve a fallen
star for his beloved, only to discover that the star is not a piece of rock but
a celestial being named Yvaine. As they journey through the magical kingdom of
Stormhold, their bond deepens, and their love story unfolds against the
backdrop of a magical and enchanting world. With its fairy-tale elements and
autumnal undertones, Stardust is a perfect choice for a cozy autumn read.
Whether you prefer ethereal circuses,
wintry landscapes, Faerie realms, or magical quests, these four stories will
give you the perfect start to fall. Grab a blanket, a hot beverage, and one of
these enchanting novels, and let the autumn vibes sweep you away into a world
of love and fantasy.
