Recs if you like The Bone Doll's Twin (The Tamír Triad, #1)...

A list of First books in Fantasy series (or standalones) published in 1980s-2000s written by female authors. Many of these authors are/were prolific writers so most additions are limited to their debut book or most popular series. Go read more by these authors!

I'm sure some of these are already on your TBR, so might as well add some more! Let me know if I am missing any of your favorites!

Books where there is a strong female friendship in a Fantasy book.

Title says. Only the first (or not) book of each series are included. Literally any fantasy that is gender nonconforming.

A collection of older, sometimes lesser-known, fantasy (or science fantasy) books written by incredible women and published primarily between the 1980s and early 2000s (with nods to a few older ones). In a time when female fantasy authors were few and far between, these authors carved out their own space in the genre. These stories might not be mainstream hits today, but they are full of brilliant magic, deep characters, and/or worlds that helped shape the genre. (First in Series / standalones only for now - open to suggestions!)
