BookTok is ignoring a pair of great book boyfriends even though the two are, in some key ways, better than Xaden from The Empyrean Series and Rhysand from A Court Of Thorns & Roses. While Rebbeca Yarros and Sarah J. Mass’ series are some of the most popular books on BookTok, they are not the only books that have captured audiences’ attention. Various other smaller series, duologies, and standalones play with similar tropes to these two works, creating strong narratives and characters audiences who love romantasy can easily get invested in.
