Recs if you like Nevernight...

in progress

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

Open to suggestions for more titles.

Don't shoot the messenger.

*SFF novels which use footnotes as a secondary narrative, paratext, or metacommentary on events in the main narrative.

fantasy that features stories and characters from criminal underworlds. think rival syndicates, gang leaders, thieving crews and elaborate heists, shadowy assassins, illicit dealings, and more.

These books have lgbt+ representation in them even if sometimes it's not the main focus or the leading couple. It's important to me to have a list that has variety and of not just stories about love but also those exploring gender identity and about those who don't experience love the same way like asexuals and aromatics. So far thare's a lot of sapphic books as well as quite a few books w/transgender mc's.

I love books that have some unique feature that is best enjoyed as a physical book, rather than e-book or audio. An example could be that it has footnotes, appendices, non-linear storytelling, or requires frequent flipping of pages.

In this digital age, it’s fun to find books where the physical book has an advantage. It’s also a factor I use when purchasing books at the bookstore.

Totally open to recommendations, as part of my reason for making this list is wanting to find more!

Books that would be amazing as videogames. 🎇 Thanks to everyone who contributed!:) Suggestions are welcome!

You should check out these series if you enjoy epic fantasy, like Brandson Sanderon's work! (First books listed only.)
