Recs if you like The Bird King...

Books by Muslim authors you should read year round, but even more so this month

instead of medieval europe inspired fantasy all of the time.

Open to recs!

(I removed middle east bc I found out that was the colonial term!)

Lets give our brothers and sisters who write fiction the platform they deserve ☀️

Bored of fantasy books that are loosely set in Medieval Europe? Me too. Here are some epic, adventurous, mythological, dark, and spellbinding fantasies set in ancient worlds outside of Europe.

Fantasy inspired by Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Albania, Serbia, Malta, Slovenia, and/or Croatia (myths, setting, etc.)

corrections & recommendations welcome <3

Reading diversely is a key component to building empathy and Muslims remain deeply misunderstood while Muslim authors continue to go underappreciated.
