Hey so Israel is not a legitimate country and shouldn't be included on this list😅
Ngl I thought I had already taken it off the list 😭. Thank you for pointing it out!
May I express my gratitude, I was about to start making my own list from scratch cos I realized idk any fantasy set in Central Asia but (partially) game of thrones 😆
Aw yay!! That makes me so happy to hear🥰
And yeah, I feel like there’s a lot less Central Asian fantasy vs fantasy in/inspired by other subregions of Asia….
Heya! I was roaming the internet and came across a candidate for the list: Obsidian: Awakening by Sienna Frost (the GR ratings looks high and it is inspired by Mongolian nomad culture)
Will add!
If you ever come across any others that fit the list, please feel free to keep recommending!! :)
I am procrastinating today by looking up book for lists sooo… 👀
Throne of the Crescent Moon The Stardust Thief This Woven Kingdom A Wind in Cairo The One Hundred Nights of Hero The Golem and the Jinni
Awesome haha! Will def add these 💖
I’ll try my best 🫡
