SFF with worldbuilding that informs the plot, prose, characters, and underlying narrative in deeply meaningful, intentional, and complex ways, so much so that changing the world means changing the shape of the story itself. Or: worldbuilding that goes beyond simple set dressing and becomes a vehicle for the story and narrative. Always open to recs and suggestions! ❤️

(101 because “The Berlin Stories” is an omnibus of “Mr Norris Changes Trains” and “Goodbye To Berlin.”)

Books where the protagonist is mixed-race/biracial/multiracial or has multiple cultures based on the circumstances of their upbringing. This adds a layer to characters that I find myself drawn to reading about, having mixed heritage myself. Recs welcome!
