Good gay fantasy novels

In the whole wide planet of queer fantasy books, there are so many options to choose from. Not only do you have all the deliciously different fantasy sub-genres there are on offer, you also get to trial a wide range of LGBTQ identities. From sapphic fantasy romance books to m/m historical fantasies and bisexual adventures, there’s a little something for everyone. Personally, I love a queernorm fantasy world where gender and sexuality are never even questioned. But whatever your preferred gender non-conforming fantasy sub-genre, these lgbtq+ fantasy books have a story just for you.

While I often — and still occasionally — have looked to fanfiction to supply all the queer identities I’m missing from my favorite shows and movies, so many LGBTQ books are making their way into the publishing world now that it’s easy to detect mainstream queer fantasy books that make you notice seen. Getting to watch yourself reflected in the stories you love is a feeling like no other. These stories inhabit worlds that are a little like ours or entirely different, but they still center the things that matter most: family, friends, love, acceptance, feeling seen, and being factual to yourself. So, let’s take a journey to

9 Favorite Queer Fantasy Books

For you today, Gentle Reader, I have some super fun queer fantasy publication recommendations. A favorite genre of mine!

You can LISTEN to this blog publish if you&#;d prefer&#;

I appreciate my books cheerful, charming, and happy with a strong romance thread. So that’s what I’ve chosen for you today (mostly). However, there is a whole glorious mess of fabulous queer fantasy out there that deals in darker themes and has more violent tenancies.

If that’s your jam then cheerful hunting, meanwhile can I interest you in the sunny side?

Fantasy Books with Queer Romance in ‘em

1. The Lightning-Struck Heart by T.J. Klune

This book has so many things I adore in a fantasy. Extremely snarky gay teen main character. Lots of awesome magic. Horny hornless unicorns with a thing for scarves and dragon BDSM. Okay maybe I didn’t know I wanted that last one, but I do now!

Honestly, this book is hilarious. No really, I was reading it and actually crying with laughter, it’s that funny. This is basically my nerdy-heart’s ideal beach read.

Looking for an escape into fantastical adventures with vibrant queer representation? The queer fantasy vacuum has been blowing up lately and we’ve been loving these stories!
Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon The Ninth (and the fantastic follow-up Harrow The Ninth) has given us the lesbian necromancer science-fantasy epic we didn’t know we needed.
A recent stand-out of mine is The Deep, which features a society of merfolk descended from the children of those who drowned during the atlantic crossing; a bittersweet story of intergenerational trauma and gender non-conforming joy.
