I’m truly surprised and sad there isn’t a bigger fandom for The Winnowing Flame trilogy by Jen Williams . I don’t know why, is it because it’s not romantasy or not YA? (No shade on those types of books, although they can get trope-y)
They are really good. I can fully reccomend them to anyone that likes fantasy but is tired of heteronormativity and isn’t too keen on purely political intrigue and doesn’t want to choose one type of fantasy or between dark stuff and whimsy.
It has interesting worldbuilding, great writing that kept me interested despite my ADHD, great characters (majority of them women!), that are interesting and also some fucked up stuff. And multiple queer characters. Aaaaand mythical beasts.
if anyone wants to talk about them, I’m open to it (my dms might not work because of stuff, but you can also comment if you wanna share fanfic or fanart or something or books similar to them).
