a smattering of different mythology & legend retellings

Contemporary fantasy books inspired by the legend of King Arthur & related characters - not just Merlin, Lancelot, or the other knights of the roundtable, but the women centered in the myth whose stories are so often cast aside, including Morgana, Guinevere and Nimue. These books center the women of Arthurian legend and their perspectives, or take a feminist spin on the classic Arthurian tale.

Books that remind me of Florence and the Machines song King. Featuring strong female leads. "I need my golden crown of sorrow . My bloody sword to swing. My empty halls echo with grand self mythology." 🎶🎵

Greek, Roman, Arthurian, Norse, Celtic, Hindu, Japanese, and more!

Fantasy or speculative fiction set in the time of King Arthur / with Arthurian characters or influence.

Just a woman (and her magical ways) against the world. Beware her power.

Women pushing the boundaries of what is acceptable in pursuit of their urges and desires. They’re behaving badly, unconventionally, and selfishly. Some are violent, some are horny, some are angry—but all of them are finally acting for themselves.

A combination of feminine rage, weird girl lit, “good for her”, monstrous feminine, and everything in between. Books written by women, trans, and nonbinary authors only.
