Recs if you like The Tiger at Midnight (The Tiger at Midnight Trilogy, #1)...

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!

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.

Growing up, I didn't see myself represented in any of the books I read. Today, I get excited when I find a book with a South Asian character. This is an incomplete list of middle grade and YA novels with South Asian characters by South Asian authors that I have found so far!
