robin hobb should totally be here!
Oh whoops good point! I originally pulled this from a list I made of planned reads a friend and I wanted to do as a project and we have both already devoured Hobb so I didn't add her 😅
Loving this list! Definitely going to try some of the books here. If you’re taking recs perhaps also Tamora Pierce? Only her Song of the Lioness Quartet starts from the 1980s though.
had the same thought!
I need to read much more from this list 🙂↕️ thank you for making it
Snow Queen by Joan D Vinge would be an excellent addition for some sci-fi!
yesss love to see it!
