the thing about people who are like “i don’t like tolkien that much, fantasy should move on and be better” is that i AGREE that fantasy has all the wrong holdovers from lotr. but when you ask those people what contemporary fantasy they think is better, they’ll say shit like name of the wind or game of thrones, and i do not relate to that…..at all?? or even, like, brandon sanderson, whose books i REALLY like. but if you’re still naming mostly white straight male authors, what is it about tolkien you wanted to leave behind exactly???

In a city far away, our characters thrive and live in harmony with each other. All is well—until new dangers arise, threatening the balance of the city and the loyalties of the people. In this ever-changing world, new identities are forming and enemies are rising. Out of the ashes, who will you become?

Okay, kicking off the Pride month rec-party by starting at the beginning of the alphabet and getting some (much needed) Asexual and Aromantic Umbrella Recs up!

Top 3 Picks:

The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee (Book #2 in the Montague Siblings duology) Sassy Summary: Local AroAce who is much more interested in medical procedures than romance finds herself caught up in an adventure with a bisexual Muslim pirate and an aspiring naturalist running from an arranged marriage with her large dog. Sequel to The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue, which does feature the AroAce character Felicity in a major role as well.

Rep: Main character is asexual and aromantic and expresses this as explicitly as she can with her historical setting. Secondary lead is a bisexual Muslim lady. And there’s a background pairing (from the first novel) of a bisexual guy and his biracial boyfriend.

The Wrong Stars by Tim Pratt (Book #1 of the Axiom trilogy)

Sassy Summary: Mass Effect Queer Edition. This space opera balances wise-cracking characters with fast-paced action scenes and never gets too heavy or super serious on you.

Rep: Amongst the cast representation you have Janice who is asexual (in the text, not just hinted), a non-binary crew member with they/them pronouns, two bisexuals (one who later self-identifies as demisexual), and near the end you find out another character is a transwoman just casually. The author himself has also identified as being on the asexual spectrum, making this #ownvoices

We Awaken by Calista Lynn

Sassy Summary: Asexuality: The Novel. This story explores asexuality, what it means to be asexual and romance with asexuality all with a nice paranormal fantasy flavoring to push the plot along.

Rep: Not one, but TWO asexual main characters! Asexual Homoromantic with F/F romance that is also interracial. And this is an #ownvoices title.

The rest of the list:

Tash Hearts Tolstoy by Kathryn Ormsbee (Asexual Heteroromantic)

Beneath the Citadel by Destiny Soria (Asexual Aromantic)

This Song is (Not) For You by Laura Nowlin (Asexual, Polyromantic)

Radio Silence by Alice Oseman (Demisexual)

Before I Let Go by Marieke Nijkamp (Asexual Aromantic)

Sawkill Girls by Claire Legrand (Asexual)

Vicious and Vengeful by V.E. Schwab (Asexual)

That’s Not What Happened by Kody Keplinger (Asexual Heteroromantic)
