"if you want queer fantasy read legends and lattes!" you could not PAY me to read cozy fantasy i have given the genre a try and it is not for me

"if cozy fantasy doesn't do it for you try Gideon the ninth!" as much as I like irreverence I find this book TOO irreverent to the point of being annoying

"well fine what DO you even like?" I like epic fantasies that take themselves seriously and have multiple moving parts that all come together at the end to make you go holy shit!!!!!!

"so like The Stormlight Archive or A Song of Ice and Fire?" yes exactly! I mean I'm not reading asoif any time soon but kinda like that

"but aren't those all written by straight white men? I thought you were looking for queer fantasy" read Priory of the Orange Tree

#this has been a post #priory is just one example I could pull like five off my bookshelf right now #but priory is my favorite AND the only one I didn't know was queer going in #about asoiaf. I read game of thrones so I feel like I did my time #I just have no desire to read the rest lmao #I do love the stormlight archive but I read the first three so long ago and in such a rush I feel like there's no point #trying to get back in and read the new books now #anyway yeah most of the books I read aren't queer which is why it's extra disappointing when the queer books I do read just #I don't like them! wehh #the priory of the orange tree
