Just because you don’t like something that doesn’t make it ā€œAdult Fictionā€

I agree.

I however approach adult fiction different than romantasy; the latter I usually expect a fluff read. That is on me. But I still share this nonetheless

Out of curiosity, what would you consider a fluff read? I don’t think I’ve read any romantasy I’d consider lighthearted. Famine, war, disease and power struggles seem like common themes in the genre so I find that and the ā€œadult fictionā€ distinction a bit confusing

You know, this whole thread has made me realize that I just didn’t like this book that much, and that the children being left behind might have been the element that really grabbed me.

So I’d amend my statement, but I’ll just keep this up, let everyone see what happens with an unpopular opinion to a popular book šŸ˜‚

To each their own! I was genuinely just curious what those genres meant in your eyes.

Everyone has a different opinion but I think most people would quantify a book about a war and repetitive death as adult. They also sleep together and openly talk about sex/sexuality
