Can Gideon the Ninth be added to this?

3

Yes! 😅 I had to look because at first I was like
but it’s not BIPOC? But apparently most of the characters are Māori! Do you know if Tamsyn Muir is Māori too? The internet confused me about this.

I mean ive seen pictures and she looks pretty white but maybe she's just white passing?

2

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

psychopomp by maria dong might be a good fit!

ooh, thank you! added!

I feel like some of Le Guins Hainish cycle would belong on here! Love this list đŸ„°đŸ„°

Thanks! Yes, I think you’re right about that. Do you know which ones would fit best? I’ve only read The Dispossessed and that was quite a while ago. 😅
