Recs if you like The Phoenix Keeper...

Standalone fantasy books that won't make you invest your life in a dozen installments

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.

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!

When the love story and the world building go hand in claw. For series, only the first book is listed.

Fantasy books with queer rep

books that feature an animal (real & fantastical alike) as a side character, companion, or a pet!

gotta catch 'em all! fantasy books that feature a collection/array of different fantastical creatures, whether they just exist in the world surrounding the characters, are the main characters, or are the main focus of the story!

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!)

A collection of sapphic fantasy books that I have seen recommended across tiktok

Dragons, vampires, fae, and the gays.

Perfect for fantasy lovers with not enough hours in the day!

Feel free to mention any I missed in the comments 😊

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

Amelia’s top OVERALL sapphic romantasy recs, witches, vampires, mages, artists, coziness, darkness, short, long, this list is my mega Sapphic Romantasy rec list

Cozy fantasy with magic, witches, faeries, and warm, whimsical vibes. Always open to more recs ❤

Books about people (particularly women) with a unique job situation. The definition of "unique job situation" is basically vibes. It could be fantastical or surreal, or just a normal job in an unusual situation. Or maybe a job so mundane and specific that the focus on it feels weird. Also books about real people with unique and interesting jobs. (Also I have not read all of these so I'm just going off descriptions for some of them.)

Books on my TBR with LGBTQIA+ characters or themes.

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