I love this list! đđȘ© (ps. Whenever I see the word Planetary, I think of the song Supernova Girl.)
thank you! đ (need to remember to listen to this tomorrow!)
Can Gideon the Ninth be added to this?
Yes! đ I had to look because at first I was likeâŠbut itâs not BIPOC? But apparently most of the characters are MÄori! Do you know if Tamsyn Muir is MÄori too? The internet confused me about this.
I mean ive seen pictures and she looks pretty white but maybe she's just white passing?
There are also black characters in GtN. Marta Dyas and Judith Deteros are black. And Judith plays a pretty significant part later on. The whole character list is full of PoC
OH can I also nominate The Space Between Worlds
Oooh, this sounds so good! Thank you! đ«¶đœ
It lives rent free in my head since I read it this past summer
