Recs if you like Dreamer's Pool...

Books featuring older women as protagonists (age 30 and up) in science fiction and fantasy. Feedback and recs welcome!

Books featuring mythology, legends and folklore from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. (For the purpose of this list 'Ireland' encompasses the entirety of Ireland (Northern & Republic) as the historical mythos is largely the same since the split happened in the 1900's.)

So, you like your fantasy with a historical-ish setting; perhaps even a dash of gothic yearning here and there. I've got you bestie.

All fiction books that appear in the Tiny Bookshop catalogue! Would sort them by genre as I read along.

Limiting this to fantasy/sci-fi, these are books where the MCs are locked up for most of the book or it's a crucial part of the plot. This can include magical prisons, cursed towers, institutions of sorts, and probably more!

bodyguards, knights & royal guards

Or maybe rather romanticizing Celtic Mythology creatures? 👀🤭 Puca rips off people's heads to use them as balls, or kidnaps children and eats them would be a gentle lover and a perfect father for your children 😍 Dullahan the messenger of death would love you fiercely, even with his grumpy demeanor 🥰 (Getting blinded on one eye after looking at him? Never heard of that..)

Made purely for my own convenience since I've been wanting to slowly catch up with Juliet Marillier's Sevenwaters series along with her other series that also takes place in Sevenwaters universe; namely Blackthorn & Grim and Warrior Bards series.
