hello! looking for a high fantasy book series in which there is romance, but it’s a smaller aspect and isn’t really relevant until later books. i like a slow burn and i’m tired of “romantasy” where the plot revolves around a couple getting together in the first book. i like strong plot with strong characters, and then a slow burn romance on the side! any series length will do!
some of my faves in this category:
throne of glass
stormlight archives
six of crows
percy jackson (looking for adult series preferably, but i love the build up of percy and annabeth relationship through the five books)
shades of magic
ninth house (urban fantasy, but whatever)
the poppy war
super powereds (also urban fantasy, but one of my faves w fave slow burn side plot romance)
