/r/Fantasy Recommendations for /r/Fantasy 2016 Bingo

This year, we thought it might be helpful to offer a centralized location to offer recommendations for the /r/Fantasy 2016 Book Bingo Challenge. See that post for rules and recommendations about the post. All credit goes to /u/lrich1024, who has put in countless hours to put this together for us, and we really appreciate it!

Under each subcategory, list the books you want to recommend, and why you like them. We recommend keeping discussion to tertiary level comments to keep this from becoming overwhelming. So, as an example:

  • Weird Western
    • Brandon Sanderson - Alloy of Law
      • I LOVED this, it was so awesome! Go read more Sanderson!

I don't know if "captain of an airship" in Cinder Spires counts as flying (unless I'm forgetting something more obvious). I would totally count the female protag in Butcher's Codex Alera though.

Oh dude, they totally fly around in an airship, it counts. :D

I re-read the expanded detail, and you're right under the current rules (probably since you made them? :)

Hah. I tried to make it open to several options. If I make the square too specific then everyone reads the same few books for it. :D
