![]() ![]() She must help save her homeland from a ritualistic invasion of demonic forces. ![]() It’s likely why the genre is more popular now than it’s ever been.Īuthor Emily Thiede’s debut novel This Vicious Grace ticks a lot of familiar boxes: A divinely blessed heroine has tremendous power but is essentially cursed to carry it alone (literally, she’ll kill anyone she touches). It’s a potent emotional mix is what I’m saying, particularly when so much of traditional mainstream fantasy is still loathe to dip its proverbial toes into serious relationship waters. There’s just something perfect about this particular subgenre, largely because it’s got space for every kind of story and takes all comers-from fairytale retellings to, magical dystopias and everything in between.Īnd, perhaps most importantly, YA fantasy isn’t afraid to tell love stories of all stripes, crafting romantic and emotional stakes that feel as sweeping and epic as any battle for a kingdom. Personally, I’m not complaining-send me your Chosen One warriors, your long-lost princesses working to reclaim their family thrones, your magical coming-of-age tales, I’ll read them all and most likely love every page. Look, there are lot of YA fantasies out there right now. ![]()
