Recs if you like Saints of Storm and Sorrow...

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.

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!)

Books set in an Asian or Asian-inspired setting or incorporates elements of an Asian culture or mythology. Only the first book in a series is listed.

sapphic books that i don't see people talk about that often and that deserve more attention!! most of these books have 1000, oftentimes under 500 ratings

books with bisexual characters (even if they end up with the opposite sex THEY'RE STILL BI)

An incomplete list of fantasy works by Filipino authors and/or based on Filipino mythology.

Authors from the Philippines & diaspora no specific genres; it’s like a Pinoy library on shuffle lol

I haven’t read every book on this list, but I have finished most of the titles towards the bottom. Recommendations always welcome! Maraming salamat, mga kapwa 🤎

Exactly what it says on the tin, books that feature queer nuns (some Christian, some of a more fantastical variety)

fantasy books written by filipino authors

Protagonists using Indigenous knowledge to magically fight for their people against systemic oppression

books with queer, sapphic, lesbian nuns amidst yearning, curiosity, worship, mayhem (and murder? who knows)

books that as far as I know are sapphic in some way, that have come out either last year, this year, or next year

Fantasy books inspired by Filipino culture, mythology, and history.

Fantasy inspired by Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and/or Vietnam (myths, setting, etc.)

sapphics? gays? trans rep? poly relationships? yes

Written SEAns and set or inspired by Southeast Asia

These books examine the impacts of colonization through a fantasy book lens.
