Recs if you like The Councillor...

Basically, a huge list of books from all genres featuring sapphic characters, whether bisexual, lesbian, butch, femme, or anything in between.

Includes fiction and nonfiction. Books with spice, and books with very little romance alike. You may find epic lady knights, pirates, ancient vampires or just weird girl adventures, heartbreaking stories or cozy books of found family and queer joy. Memoirs, historical fiction, instruction manuals, maybe even a poem or two.

Do you feel like you've read everything there is to read? Or get annoyed that the same books are on all the rec lists? Well, here are some more obscure masterpieces!

Some of the covers are terrible - especially among the older or self-pubbed books; there's a few YA in here; and some that are science fantasy rather than 'pure' fantasy. But trust me: they're all EXCELLENT. (And if you already love a bunch of these, let's be friends!)

secret plots, political moves, and pursuits of power all within imperial, royal, or noble courts.

If you tell me it's political fantasy, I don't need to hear more, thank you

(I might add a few historical fiction as well if it's heavily political -in my opinion, or if it's recommended as such)

Your next adventure begins here

A list comprised of novels that all have some sort of philosophical theme without necessarily trying to be a philosophy textbook. This list has a wide range: existential, political, ethics, etc. These books all make you think about life or society in some impactful way. Recs welcome!

Fantasy where romance can’t be separated from power, allegiance, class, inheritance, rebellion, diplomacy, or the throne. Falling in love means choosing sides. . . or discovering that the person you want may be standing on the wrong one.
