Gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss (sci-fi & fantasy)
Suggestions always welcome in the pursuit of women's rights and women's wrongs! For the terrible women in fantasy who are gaslighting, gatekeeping, and girlbossing their way to the top, using any and all tools at their disposalโthe more war crimes, the better. These women are generally characterized as ruthless, cunning, scheming, manipulative, etc. (To go along with the poor little meow meow list featuring pathetic men)

Fresh Fantasy
Fresh, original fantasy that makes me feel some type of way. Whether it be the characters, plot, writing style, or worldbuilding, these books stand out from the crowd as unique. Fantasy, and its many sub-genres, is highly saturated and at times it can feel like I'm reading the same story over and over again. This list is sure to surprise and delight even the most seasoned fantasy reader.

Arcane inspired fantasy
Now that we are all waiting for the new side stories after the ending of Arcane there is a huge empty space begging to be satisfied with the same feeling of season one (mostly, season two went very middle class and we lost the potential of what could have been one of the greatest revolutionary stories in recent media)
Criteria for the books consist generally โข Class schisms โข Political intrigue โข Moral questions of privilege and responsibility โข Picks with queer stories

Silkpunk
Subgenre coined by Ken Liu. A mix of Asian Fantasy and distinctly Asian executions of science fiction technology. A genre bending aesthetic where the line between nature and machinery disappears in that technology, both in form and operation.

Adult Epic Fantasy โ๏ธ with Little to No Romance
I've noticed most fantasy lists are saturated with YA and romantasy books, but some of us crave adult high-stakes adventures. If you enjoy epic stakes, deep characters, and majestic world-building (without the distraction of romance) this list is for you. For series, I've only added the first book. ๐
