Recs if you like Sisters of Sword and Shadow...

disclaimer: I have not read all of these books

as always, taking any and all suggestions!!

in progress - taking suggestions

Basically, a huge list of every book I ever heard features sapphic / lesbian characters.

I have not read all of these, so I cannot be sure of the amount of the time on page of the sapphic characters or of the quality of the books.

Some of these I do not plan to read at all, since they are not my style. If you feel like a book doesn't belong here, let me know.

For my favs / read, check out my other lists & shelves.

Don't shoot the messenger.

i can’t stop noticing bowl of mac & cheese titles. everywhere

Contemporary fantasy books inspired by the legend of King Arthur & related characters - not just Merlin, Lancelot, or the other knights of the roundtable, but the women centered in the myth whose stories are so often cast aside, including Morgana, Guinevere and Nimue. These books center the women of Arthurian legend and their perspectives, or take a feminist spin on the classic Arthurian tale.

A collection of books across different genres (mostly historical fiction/ YA and fantasy) with Lady Knights ⚔️ Most books have queer main or side characters 🏳️‍🌈 I'm constantly editing this list so please feel free to share recs in the comments! 🌟 (I haven't read all of the books on this list yet)

Fantasy or speculative fiction set in the time of King Arthur / with Arthurian characters or influence.

when one thing isn't enough

Arthurian history, mythology, legends, fantasy, and retellings from history and modernity, as well as books and stories directly inspired by Arthurian myth. Series include just the first book as this list started to get very long

Feel free to add any others in the comments

Compiling every sapphic fantasy I have read/want to read. A few of these don’t necessarily feature relationships as a major part of the plot but are still abundant with lesbians. PLEASE LEAVE SUGGESTIONS
