So many books I loved reading are in this list ! And many other’s I haven’t had the pleasure to discover yet, so thanks for the recs ! If I had to rec a title not already listed here I’d recommend the “Once & Future” duology (book 2 came one this year, titled “Sword in the Stars”) by Amy Rose Capetta and Cori McCarthy. It’s just SO good with an incredible cast of queer characters.
