This is a multi part blog post series featuring the YA Fantasy books without love triangles, where romance is minimal or not central to the plot. I did my best to include the books which would be enjoyable reads for the grown up YA Fantasy lovers and inspiring for the young people, where they could read about heroic adventures, friendship, loyalty, responsibility, survival, consequences of decisions, etc something other than romance and ‘which lover should the protagonist choose’ stuff.
I included the Goodreads links to make things easier so clicking on the image will take you to the Goodreads profiles of the series/books.

If you have any recommendations, feel free to let me know and I will add them too. The only requirement is non-romance plot and no love triangles.
I’ll nibble. I’ve been promoting one this month called Will O’ the Wisp. Young adult paranormal story with no romance or love triangles.

Part seven? You’re an animal. I feel like I need to add, “Read all the love-triangle free books on Leona’s ongoing list’ on my bucket list. Right next to ‘Visit the Taj Mahal.’ 😀

I’m happy to show the YA readers they have other options. Sabriel series is superb from what I hear, Network Series by Katie Cross is also awesome, there’s lots of magic, minimal romance and absolutely no love triangles in it.A Darker Shade of Magic , Grisha Series and Fablehaven are all awesome from what I hear. Can’t wait to read them all and post my own reviews!
