Recs if you like Year of the Griffin (Derkholm, #2)...

JK Rowling is a bigot who uses her platform to hurt transfolks and other marginalized groups (plus she literally just quoted Mein Kampf on the bird site). If you're still supporting her in 2025, don't bother talking to me.

epic world building. stunning characterization. gender fuckery. toxic mentors. prolific writing. so much damn creative magic. and it wouldn't be 80's-90's lit without some problematic age gap romances. and she's white and from the uk so u know there's that out-of-nowhere unchallenged racism and orientalism. and ofc rampant fatphobia. lots and lots of caveats as tends to be the case. u know her u love her it's DWJJJJJ

the entire Diana Wynne Jones bibliography (more or less) : 1970-2014

I own too many books
