Background

Genre Context: Romantasy

Romantasy, a combination of the fantasy and romance genres, is rapidly rising in prominence. These tales of romance set within fantastical worlds offer both a magical adventure and a developed romantic arc that ends with a HEA (happily ever after) or HFN (happy for now) for the main couple. That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon, as well as the rest of the Mead Mishaps series, is a part of the romantasy genre. Other popular romantasy books include Rebecca Yarros’s Empyrean series (Fourth Wing, Iron Flame), Hannah Nicole Maehrer’s Assistant to the Villain series (Assistant to the Villain, Apprentice to the Villain), Bride by Ali Hazelwood, and the work of New York Times bestselling author Sarah J. Maas (including Throne of Glass and A Court of Thorns and Roses). Romantasy titles often come in a series, either with a different romantic couple fronting each book (as is the case in the Mead Mishaps) or with a single romance arc explored throughout several books (as in Rebecca Yarros’s Empyrean).
