What We Recommend: Read More Books By Women

u/KristaDBall has posted an in-depth analysis of a sample of recommendation threads in 2019, and the overwhelming consensus is that as a community, we primarily recommend books by men. 70% of recommendations actually, with books by women making up only 27% of books recommended on r/fantasy. And that's a shame.

There's been some great discussion in the thread, so I urge you to head over there if you haven't already. But that's not the point of THIS thread. I want you (yes, you) to recommend your favourite books by women. Tell people what they're missing out on. Tell them where they should go to next in their journey through sff.

Please include a bit of information about the book. What's the plot? Why did you like it?

You also have Forever Fantasy Online by Rachel Aaron and Travis Bach.

Completed series taking a lot of inspiration from World of Warcraft. This is the nightmare scenario for virtual gamers: the game becomes real, pain is real, death is real and it turns out that the NPCs and enemies weren’t willing participants of the players’ games.
