What are some good titles and reqs for queer fantasy reading? Let's make a list for anyone who might be searching!

Personally I always recommend Lynn Flewelling's Nightrunner series (it starts with Luck in the Shadows). One of my favorite fantasy series.

A long Way to a Small Angry Planet was cute. It was a good little book and I went into it knowing nothing really and was pleasantly surprised by the queer rep. It felt natural and realistic even if it did involve aliens. Enjoyed it.

We're reading Gideon the Ninth (first of Locked Tomb) in book club in October on the Discord server.

I have The Priory of the Orange Tree purchased in ebook format but I haven't read it yet. Had no idea it had queer rep, so now I am even more excited to get to it.

Go for Priory, The prose is really good. However it does suffer from pacing.First half felt almost slice of life. The second part ramps up a bit

I actually don't mind slice of life. Sometimes a slow paced opening is a breath of fresh air.
