Book Recs: Sapphic Fantasy (I)

I am here today, entirely reluctantly it should be noted, to rec you all some f/f fantasy books. (Not reluctantly because I don’t like the genre, I hasten to add, but because sometimes it’s all I seem to be asked to rec when it comes to f/f. But anyway.)

But you asked, so here I am.

As ever, I haven’t read every single book on this list. This is just a starter pack for you. And today, because f/f fantasy is a comparatively big genre, I’m going to try rec books that I know are less popular (so if you don’t see some big names on here, that’s why! And also I feel like I end up reccing the same books over and over for this genre so…trying to branch out a little).

Again, all the previous posts are here.

**Please note that since this post was published, Paul Krueger has been accused of sexual harassment by several women and, as such, we can no longer recommend this book (although it will not be removed from the post, for full clarity).

Any of your favourites on this list? What other (less popular) novels you think are missing?
