I'M BACK! And With a Giveaway! (Cuz Dark Lord Funk.Review: Things We Know by Heart by Jessi Kirby.

I JUST read this one, but I really enjoyed it and have to give a shout out to the loverly LGBT storyline *crosses fingers for even more goodness in future books* (not high fantasy, but I still wanted to give this a shout-out)īooks I've yet to read but absolutely will (eventually):Ĭity of a Thousand Dolls by Miriam ForsterĬircle of Emelan universe by Tamora Pierce This is set in a pseudo-Chinese-ish society and is a pseudo-retelling of The Phantom of the Opera! It's pseudo-awesome. This is set in a sort of sideways take on Victorian/turn-of-the-century England, and Jessamin is very much an outsider in this world, hailing from a pseudo-Pacific island and very much feeling the negative effects of colonialism. : The Fire Wish (Jinni Wars) (9780385369770) by Lough, Amber and a great selection of similar New, Used and Collectible Books available now at great prices. The Seven Realms series by Cinda Williams Chima (Also I don't love to use the US cover because it shows a clearly white Fire when she really should be a POC like on the UK cover above) Which is hard because I love so many (KATSA PO BRIGAN PO AGAIN) but I just reeeeeally love my Fire.

I haven't read Bitterblue yet, but I might have to go with Fire as my all-time favorite Cashore character. The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson YA retelling of Shaherezad plus an ALL TIME SHIP plus magics plus betrayal and destruction and mega hot kisses and twisted relationships and ALL THE YES

High fantasy has, historically, been a genre severely lacking in diversity of any kind-cultural, racial, sexual, gender, and on and on-so I want to make a point to go out of my way to read more of it.
