Not Another Heroine

Join Katie and Jordan, two friends who discovered similar reading habits and needed more time to talk books out of the office.

Pick of the Week: The Courting of Bristol Keats by...

Not Another Heroine ·

2025/05/21

If you like a little more romance in your romantasy, this book might appeal to you despite the page count, awkward turns of phrase, and overplayed-out genre tropes. Katie made it to 90 percent, enjoyed the journey, and was sucked in by a particular scene in which the MMC turns invisible so he can secretly dance with the heroine.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/203579027-the-courting-of-bristol-keatsSimilar Books:The Cruel Prince by Holly

Pick of the Week: Swordheart by T. Kingfisher

Not Another Heroine ·

2025/05/14

After two failed attempts with "Byrony and Roses" and "Nettle and Bone," a T. Kingfisher book finally snagged Jordan with "Swordheart." This book pokes fun at the genre but has some creepy moments with sticky, flying, invisible manta rays.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/42747739-swordheartSimilar Books:Paladin's Grace by T.

2025/05/05

We've discovered our pod attention span fails us on these longer series, but we do manage to wrap up The Folk of Air trilogy. The romantic tension continues to be a little lacking but we get a tidy ending with some hints at past and future series offshoots.Check back in next Monday for our Bennets and Bonnnets episode!https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26032912-the-queen-of-nothingOther books mentioned in this episode: Valiant by Holly Black

Pick of the Week: His At Night by Sherry Thomas

Not Another Heroine ·

2025/04/30

Ripped bodices, tea parties, ball gowns....we're back into historical romance this week with "His At Night" by Sherry Thomas. This is less Bridgerton and more Downtown Abbey with a side of intrigue and murder.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6903194-his-at-nightSimilar Books:Secrets of a Summer Night by Lisa Kleypashttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/114162.Secrets_of_a_Summer_NightYours Until Dawn by Teresa Medeiroshttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40720861-yours-until-dawnWhat I Did For A

116. The Queen of Nothing by Holly Black (Part 1)...

Not Another Heroine ·

2025/04/28

Hot take: ACOTAR is the adult (not necessarily better) version of this book - a little more angst and introspection vs the constant action and plot progression we've seen throughout The Folk of Air trilogy.Inhale this book on a hot day with a drink in hand, and you might catch a glimpse of faerie wings out of the corner of your eye.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26032912-the-queen-of-nothingOther books mentioned in this episode: Daughter of the Forest by Juliet

Pick of the Week: Not In Love by Ali Hazelwood

Not Another Heroine ·

2025/04/23

Almost-erotica is on sale at your local Costco, readers. At least that's where Katie found this Ali Hazelwood oyster of a book.Yes, oyster.You don't read this kind of story because you want to read something, the same way you don't order oysters because you're hungry.Check this one out if Deep End wasn't quite satisfying and you like your heroine a little less emotionally available.

Not Another Heroine ·

2025/04/21

Could The Wicked King be improved with more romance and would it help this series appeal to a broader audience? Or would it distract from the political machinations and world-building? Our takeaway: Holly Black can do no wrong, but secretly, we're just romance devotees masquerading as romantasy readers. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26032887-the-wicked-king?ref=nav_sb_ss_1_15If you do like your world-building with a touch more emotional angst, check out The Winner's Curse triology by Marie

2025/04/16

Jordan's recommendation for fixing your romantasy book slump: the one, the only, Grace Draven! This time in novella form! Jordan read In the Darkest Midnight for her pick this week - a (fairly clean!) coming of age story featuring a student-teacher romance with a redheaded sword fighting instructor (hell yeah.)In the Darkest Midnight by Grace Dravenhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/39874001-in-the-darkest-midnightAlso mentioned in this episode:Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros (for a similar

114. The Wicked King by Holly Black (Part 1)...

Not Another Heroine ·

2025/04/14

Officially, this series is "The Folk of the Air" trilogy, and in book 2, Jude is firmly established as the right-hand of the very disgruntled King Cardan. Anyone else a fan of Taryn? Katie is all about a book from her perspective a la Nesta from ACOTAR.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26032887-the-wicked-king?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=XcbhAfESGf&rank=1In case you missed The Cruel Prince:

Not Another Heroine ·

2025/03/31

If you've been kind of iffy on Jude through part one, there's a very particular hand scene in part two where Jude establishes herself as one of the most badass heroines in the genre. This is the gritty, resilient kind of main character every romantasy author tries to write with middling success.------------------------------------------Is there anyone who hasn't read The Cruel Prince yet?

Pick of the Week: Deep End by Ali Hazelwood

Not Another Heroine ·

2025/03/26

This week Katie is exploring all of Ali's forays into romance territory. Her most recent book, Deep End, seems to bridge the gap between the spicier side of romance (Not in Love) and her traditional rom-coms like Love, Theoretically and The Love Hypothesis. Deep End explores BDSM themes, power dynamics, and a peculiar type of love triangle.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/212808709-deep-end?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=2c5NZIKHfr&rank=1Want more of Jordan, Katie, and Not Another
