Romantasy has exploded over the past few years… but why?

In this special bonus episode of Minds Over Magic, we are joined by fantasy author Becky Jane Fox (Veins of Power) to explore romantasy from three different perspectives: the writer, the reader and the psychotherapist.

Together, we discuss why romantasy relationships feel so emotionally intense, why readers become deeply attached to fictional worlds and characters, whether romantasy is “just escapism”, and why the genre is so often dismissed despite its massive popularity.

We also get into favourite tropes, emotionally devastating books, yearning, morally grey characters and why romantasy readers are all apparently emotionally unwell 😄
