The Knight and The Moth and the Romantasy Genre | Bonus Book Review
from Call Me When They Kiss · host Call Me When They Kiss
Welcome to our second bonus book episode! Last month we explored the contemporary romance genre, but this month we’re tackling the romantasy genre with a review of The Knight in the Moth. We talk through what we liked, what we wished there had been more of, and why the book ultimately landed as “it was good, but fine” rather than “we loved it!!!". But it wouldn’t be a Call Me When They Kiss episode without a classic rant. Can we rant about the romantasy genre as a whole with you for a sec? We’re begging for flawed, interesting characters, better villains, higher stakes, and a true slow burn. We talk about what makes a romantic storyline feel earned instead of rushed, and why we’ll always choose character-driven stories with real emotional depth over flashy world-building.We wrap things up with our personal ratings, honest recommendations, and a fun round of romantasy trivia (some of the facts really shocked us!!). So whether you read the book or not, join our convo, have some fun with us, and tell us what you love and hate about the beloved romantasy genre.Don't forget to like, rate, and subscribe 💋
