Master Fantasy and Romantasy List
I'm sure some of these are already on your TBR, so might as well add some more! Let me know if I am missing any of your favorites!
fantasy to read on the train to the Taj Mahal
Indian inspired/set fantasy and folklore. Crowd-sourced from an ask in the Asian-inspired Fantasy quest, so check that out too, but always open to suggestions ☺️ Mostly Desi authors, though not exclusively. I have yet to read any, so join me as I work my way through these (and thanks to everyone who suggested them 🤍)

All genres of Fantasy written by South Asian authors specifically.
