Arcane inspired fantasy

Now that we are all waiting for the new side stories after the ending of Arcane there is a huge empty space begging to be satisfied with the same feeling of season one (mostly, season two went very middle class and we lost the potential of what could have been one of the greatest revolutionary stories in recent media)

Criteria for the books consist generally • Class schisms • Political intrigue • Moral questions of privilege and responsibility • Picks with queer stories

I would never have thought to describe my interests as arcane-inspired until I landed here with 53% overlap and all stories I love! new language for a show I also love but would never have applied in this way! very cool!

I suggest Heavy Metal Lover by Isa Agajanian! it's inspired by Arcane and fits the criteria well as far as I know (because it comes out next month) but you can find more info on the author's insta if you're curious :)

the caeli-amur duology (unwrapped sky and the stars askew) by rjurik davidson fits perfectly on this list!
