y so srs?

Yesterday and today I spent some time looking for some good fantasy novels with m/m romance. Actually, I'd also be happy with good fantasy novels with m/f romance, but lately I've been in a BL mood, so that's what I've been looking for.

You have no idea how happy it would make me to find at least ONE m/m fantasy novel that is not taking itself so seriously! If it's not coated with a thick layer of angst (either plot or romance related, take your pick), it's smut with a fantasy backdrop.

And don't get me wrong, some of those books are awesome! But when I'm craving some lighthearted fantasy/romance with decent humor and just a bit of drama to make it interesting (wouldn't say no to the smut, either, as long as it wasn't the whole plot), man, this just doesn't cut it!

The angst, it is wide. Wide like the ocean. There is no crossing.

I like Swordspoint a lot, though it sometimes is a little dark. If you decide to buy it, I also recommend Privilege of the Sword, which has implied threesome. :D

Tanya Huff has one in her fantasy series that has a male couple, I think it's the Quartered Sea, but I'm not sure I can recommend that one since it's kind of "Insta-romance! Just add water!" Literally in this case. Which is a shame because the other Quarter books (Sing the Four Quarters, Fifth Quarter, and No Quarter) are fantastic (and have some romance in them).

I was actually looking at a few Tanya Huff books, but I couldn't get sample chapters since her books don't come in ebook format (at least, not on Amazon). I'll probably try out some of the others first.

Privilege of the Sword is the sequel, right? I'll see how I do with Swordspoint first. ;)

Thanks!
