Everytime I am at a cafe there is a woman reading this book. I don't think I've ever seen a man with a copy of it. Been seeing it around for few years now.

Is it one of those romantasy novels? Or is more like YA fantasy fiction type stuff?

    It's fairy sex romantasy.

    The same was said of Twilight. I’m male (AMAB/identify as male) and I read Twilight. It was okay. I stopped partway through New Moon. I did enjoy the movies. I liked what Meyer did with her vampires. I didn’t take it any more seriously than was warranted.

    I’m currently reading the Dungeon Crawler Carl books. Are they fine literature? No, but they’re fun. I’ve read about a dozen of the Sword Art Online books, and DCC is better. Same thing though. Kind of. They’re both very lowbrow, and I thoroughly enjoy both.

    No interest in the new romantasy stuff though. It just doesn’t appeal to me. I am curious… but not interested.
