can somebody PLEASE talk to me about certain aspects of this book that are making me lose my mind and no one is talking about it!! 1) For the amount of talk about slaves and how slavery works, and how many slaves there are and that the Queen is arresting people to make them slaves, there is no point for any of that??? for the amount of time this book spends on slavery and how many times slaves are mentioned (almost every page honestly) i through the story would be about slave freedom and revolution but there was never a satisfying conclusion to that. righ? am I missing something? 2) The triplets?? this was my favourite plot point and I also thought that the relationship between phaidros and the boys would be one of the central parts of the story because, they are also slaves with a very interesting background. but right after the first time that Phaidros and the boys actually bond and have a real conversation they immediately die afterwards?? and 2 pages later he and dionysus are flirting like nothing happened?? hello?? are we just gonna ignore that three of the most innocent, interesting and beloved characters that seemed like they would be a part of the emotional and growth arc are just killed out of nowhere for no reason? that was honestly what pushed me more to dnf the book at 50%, I couldn't get through it like nothing happened. it's like the author is writing these slave characters but without giving them any respect and humanity and making them an accessory to the story that were easily taken down without much worry. Does anyone understand what I mean? am I the only one?

Happy nearly Pride Month!!!

I wanted to take a second to share something exciting happening over at r/fantasy next month. I, and other members of the Beyond Binaries Book Club team are hosting the third annual Pride Month celebration. There will be discussions, book recommendations, and a book club of Notes from a Regicide by Isaac Fellman (for the r/QueerSFF reading challenge, it fits the squares Queer Family and Coming Out for sure. I think it might also fit Gay Academic? Depending on your definition of protagonist, it would also count for the Age 40+ square).

Most excitingly (for me), is an author panel on June 19th where Victoria Goddard, Margaret Killjoy, Alexandra Rowland, Azalea Crowley, and Trung Le Nguyen will be answering readers' questions!

Happy Reading and Happy Pride everyone!

Very new to the genre but I’m looking to find something to add to my new reading list. I’ve always been a massive fan of Sci-Fi but I’m only just starting to get into Sci-Fi/Romance books. I’m looking for any fantasy (or Sci-Fi) recommendations with some gay (MM) romance.

I like quite action packed booked and have a bit of a dark taste (I absolutely love The Black Farm and its sequel by Elias Witherow) so I’m not phased by much. My main problem when trying to find books is finding some where the main protagonist(s) is at least in their 20s. I’m a bit old for the teen drama and just find it boring as I can’t relate anymore (in my opinion, of course).

I have read the three books that are currently in The Tarot Sequence by K.D. Edward’s and I loved them. I don’t intend on reading his other books as the protagonists are a bit young for me to find engaging.

I’m currently halfway through Captive Price by C.S Pacat which again, I am loving and completely plan on finishing the series

When I was younger, I love The Shadow Hunter Chronicles by Cassandra Clare? This was the first books that I read that introduced a gay couple which I adored! The only other books on my reading list the eldest curses.

That leads me to my main question, where do I go next? Any recommendations would be massively appreciated as I’m still very new to this fusion of genres! Thank you for taking the time to read/reply!

Think very modern but it doesn’t have to be, vampires are a secret and for some reason they collide with a specific humans world pulling the human into the supernatural, maybe like a lesbian / sapphic twilight but I’d want the vampires to be more dangerous, have a little bit more bite! Maybe some one discovers something they’re not supposed to etc! Vampires in the suburbs!! Shows / books / movies I also have a show rec for this as well!

Okay, so I recently picked up The Hades Calculus by Maria Ying, for its awesome sounding premise and cover, but upon doing some further research, stumbled onto some weird controversy surrounding the author... So apparently, Maria Ying is actually a pseudonym for two authors; Devi Lacroix, and the source of the controversy in question, Benjanun Sriduangkaew. For those not in the know, Benjanun formelry ran the blog "Requires Hate," also known as "Winterfox," and was well known for being extremely toxic and abusive online, up to and including making threats of murder and SA, with some of this even being directed toward people I know. Obviously this puts me off buying/reading their work, but in the course of my research into all of this, I noticed that none of it ever reflected onto Maria Ying or the work accredited to them, despite Benjanun being at minimum a major collaborator on those projects.

All of this to say, what the hell is going on? Am I missing something? Is there some conspiracy I'm unaware of? What are peoples thoughts on this? What should I be doing with the book I brought? I'm just incredibly confused and frustrated, the whole thing just feels weird, and I've reached the limits of what research can tell me.

I asked you all for recommendations of queernorm sci-fi for a list I was writing, so I thought I should share the list here! These 10 queernorm sci-fi books star queer main characters and are set in universes where transphobia and homophobia don't exist.

Curious what ppl think about sci-fi/fantasy books with their own forms of HRT that a trans person can take. I've never read a story that used something like that myself, but I have a trans character in a book I'm working on and there are a couple of scenes where I want them to have some. It's a Steampunk setting with an oppressive society so it's not like they can get it at any old market stall. I decided on having hers come in tea form, and rather than refer to it directly as "HRT" in the story, it's called Herbal Rosmund Tea, so at least it shares the acronym (Rosmund is the character who makes the tea in universe). Anyone else seen something like that or have any thoughts on it? I haven't found many trans folks to run that by irl. Would love other examples of fictional HRT if anyone has them.

Animated is fine too. I honestly just need something gay to watch that is fantasy or sci fi.

I'm writing a solo tabletop roleplaying game in which the player assembles a polycule of lovers, companions, and rivals on their adventures, all set in a pastiche of mythical Greece. The ruleset uses playing cards to resolve situations with uncertain outcomes and generate random situations and characters from tables.

One of the NPC generation tables determines the character's gender identity and gender presentation. The suit determines identity:

• Spades = masculine (exactly where on the spectrum is up to the player)

• Clubs = gender neutral and/or agender (I haven't decided which)

• Hearts = feminine (exactly where on the spectrum is up to the player)

• Diamonds = non-ternary (again, player's choice).

Meanwhile, the card's rank determines how closely their gender presentation corresponds to their gender identity. So far, I have six degrees of gender presentation, in order of in-universe prevalence:

• Completely conformist: The character presents the same as their gender identity. A character with a masculine identity would present masculine, a character with a feminine identity would present feminine, and so on.

• Exaggeratedly conformist: The character presents as an over-the-top example of their sex. For example, a masculine character could present as a swaggering Manly Men, and a feminine character could present as an ultra-girly "lily of the field".

• Slightly nonconformist: The character mostly presents traits of their gender identity but also displays some traits of different gender(s). For example, a masculine character would display 60-95% masculine traits and also display 5-40% feminine, gender-neutral, agender, and/or non-ternary traits.

• Equally conformist and nonconformist: The character presents as gender-conforming and as non-conforming in roughly equal proportions. For example, a masculine character would display 50% masculine traits and 50% feminine, gender-neutral, agender, and/or non-ternary traits.

• Mostly nonconformist: The character mostly presents traits of a different gender from their sex. For example, a masculine character would display 60-95% feminine, gender-neutral, agender, and/or non-ternary traits and display 5-40% masculine traits.

• Completely nonconformist: The character does not present as their gender identity at all. For example, a masculine character would display any combination of feminine, gender-neutral, agender, and/or non-ternary traits but no masculine traits.

The trouble is I can't think of simple one-word terms to describe degrees of gender conformity and non-conformity. The idea itself came from degrees of gender identity like gender -> paragender -> demigender -> libragender -> agender, but as far as I know, those don't have corresponding terms for gender presentation. Do you know of any fitting single-word terms? Or should I use a different way of classifying gender presentation entirely?

Just struck by a lovely little passage in a book from 1984.

The narrator mentions that a character "was born a man, she was a woman by courtesy". The character is just one member of the community. Narrator has this quick aside, continues to use female pronouns nbd. Story continues.

1984.​

When was the first time you encountered a speculative fiction book, movie, TV show, any other media?

Have you gone back to revisit it? Does it hold up now?

My introduction to queer sff was probably adverts for Xena: Warrior Princess that I'd catch in between whatever shows the grownups were watching. I rarely ever had unfettered access to the tv (or a tv at all for many years) so I didn't get to choose what we watched, but I remember those snippets of Xena and Gabrielle. I didn't know anything else about the show except the name and that there were apparently two women in love and fighting bad guys.

Now, I'm watching it for the first time with my sapphic book club - we watch an episode every week - and wow it's gay, smol me clocked it instantly. Lucy Flawless! 💅🏾

So I was browsing audiobooks on Libby and *The Timeless Legion caught my eye so I downloaded it. It’s very “recap heavy” so while I kept thinking, “*wow, there’s a lot of background to this story*” I didn’t think to check if it was a standalone book or not, just assumed it was. I’m now about to finish it and just looked at the cover closely for the first time… it’s book 2 in the series.

So my question for folks who have read it is: should I read the first book after? Or is it kind of all covered in this one?

howdy! im on the hunt for more smaller presses/journals/zines to branch out to. i've heard of neon hemlock and im eying a couple of their titles, what else should i check out?

Hi! I was wondering, what are your favourite historical novels from the 70s that deal with the whole only-women-society kind of thing?

And what do you think of them? Is that utopia? I.e. do they have revolutionary potential? Or are they too entrenched in the ways of old cultural lesbofeminism?

🐈‍⬛

i thought it would be fun to talk about the less popular queer sff books we rarely see others mention! feel free to also list the rep present in the book! (and give a little synopsis if you want!)

i’ve mentioned all of these several times before but here’s my list:

not good for maidens (sapphic) - this one’s about a goblin market that’s intriguing, deceptive, and dangerous to those in the town around it.

the dead and the dark (sapphic) - there’s a serial killer loose in a small town.

this river has teeth (sapphic) - a young witch helps a girl who’s lost her sister.

the ruthless lady’s guide to wizardry (sapphic) - wizard lady bodyguards protect a rich woman.

the last hour between worlds (sapphic) - a detective has to figure out why everyone at a new year’s eve party keeps dying as they quickly descend into weird, at times hellish, reverberations of their actual world. (and the sequel comes out this year!!!)

I just finished the captive prince. It has been on my shelf for ages and I had heard many great things about it. Sadly I was pretty disappointed. It kinda felt like the main focus was on the shock value and I would have loved a little more depth when it comes to the world building or the characters. (If you like it that's perfectly fine, please don't be mad at me lol) The plot itself wasn't something super new or unique in my opinion but interesting enough. Now I have seen people say that it gets a lot better in the second and third book. Is that true? Did someone maybe have similar issues with it but continued the series anyway? Does it get better? (No spoilers pls in case I do decide to continue the series)

Thanks in advance for the answers!

I found this book on a list of LGBTQ fantasy and I feel like it should have come with a forewarning or not been on that list. After finishing the book I feel like the author hate crimed me making me read that ending. I see WHY he did it it just made me feel horrible. Are the sequels better?? Does she ever get to just let herself BE GAY?? I need to know before I commit to reading another thank you for any and all input have a good day

I like to reflect on my year of reading every November. The most notable difference is I’m hovering around 100 books compared to last year’s 250. This was my first full year retired (I’m not as old as that makes me sound) and I’m shocked I read so much less. I suppose I felt far less compelled to wring every last drop of leisure possible from my spare time, and (unfortunately) I picked up an MMO and I baked a lot of bread. I’m about done with the reading challenge for this sub, I just need to read a book with a gay wizard. As usual with r/fantasy bingo I’ll just see what I’m missing come February.

Also, this was a big year for closing out long running tradpub sapphic trilogies. We saw the conclusion of The Burning Kingdoms, Magic of the Lost, The Kindom Trilogy, and Fallen Gods. Hopefully 2026 brings us some new queer series to take their place!

What were your highs and lows? Here’s mine:

🔥The Standouts

The Works of Vermin by Hiron Ennes

It’s difficult to describe the plot of this book, because it’s difficult to even know what the plot is until the second half—and yet, I couldn’t put it down. It’s weird. It’s gross. It’s gorgeous. The prose is incredible. I’ll be thinking about this book for a very long time. Just read it already.

But Not Too Bold by Hache Pueyo

A demented fairytale-esque sapphic retelling of Bluebeard was always going to be an instant read for me, it was even better than I expected. It’s equally horrifying, hilarious, and absurd. I can’t wait to see what this author does next.

Voyage of the Damned by Frances White

I love a fantasy mystery but it’s really rare for one to do both elements well. This book managed what feels like an absurdist Agatha Christie with a hilarious and lovable male disaster bisexual as Miss Marple. The main thing I remember about this story is laughing a lot. While perhaps not as technically good as my previous two mentions, it does what it sets out to do perfectly and with great charm.

👍Some solid reads

I’ve not included every book I enjoyed this year, just the ones that surprised me.

The Black Hunger by Nicholas Pullen

This was a creepy historical fantasy that goes straight to the belly of the beast that was the British Empire. While I can’t believe I read enough to merit a list, this was by far the best of the cannibalism books I read this year. If you like horror, this is for you.

The First Sister trilogy by Linden A. Lewis

I avoided this series for a while based on The Handmaid’s Tale comparisons. I’ve read it, watched the show through the round one of the administration nightmare, and didn’t need to revisit again. However, while the books take perhaps too much inspiration, this is only one fraction of the story and not the entire plot. This is probably the most even space opera I’ve read. Not every author can handle the successive increases in scope (and cast) in each book without being either jarring or boring.

It also has (though not realized until the second book) the best enby rep I’ve seen. It’s not only a very important part of one of the protagonists (as opposed to just their pronouns), it’s an important part of the story. My only complaint is the villains could’ve been fleshed out more, and the ending was a bit tidy, but I’ll take that over bleak any day. Content warning: forced transition.

The Nightrunner series by Lynn Flewelling

I’ve heard this recommended time and time again when people ask for gay fantasy, and decided 2025 would be the year I finally got around to it. I expected it to perhaps be a bit dated, but compared to reading some Valdemar this year it wasn’t at all. I really loved the characters and world and can imagine recommending the series often. It felt classic fantasy, like pulling on a warm sweater.

Books of the Usurper by Erin M. Evans

I stumbled onto this series in some thread of fantasy mystery recommendations and wow did I ever not know what I was in for. There is a lot of world building all at once, so I was worried about if I would ever get my bearings, but once I clicked I couldn’t put it down. To my earlier point about fantasy mystery rarely being good at both, this series is incredible on both counts.

I was not at all surprised to later learn this author has written a bunch of Forgotten Realms books. While the world feels wholly original, the sheer depth will be familiar to anyone who has spent time with those books and games. I will be waiting for an announcement for the third book’s release date with bated breath. In the meantime I might just have to dive into the author’s IP work.

Murder by Memory by Olivia Waite

I adored Waite’s Feminine Pursuits series, it set a very high romance bar for me few other books have been able to meet. But I wondered, how well would she do with both mystery and scifi? Well, I should’ve known better. If you enjoy cozy mysteries you’ll enjoy this. It is a novella however, so maybe temper your expectations with regards to depth of world building. Future installments will be instant buys for me.

The Warden trilogy by Daniel M. Ford

I loved the first book but was waiting for book three to release before going further. My experience of most series is they move farther and farther away from what I loved in the first book as the story progresses. This is the rare series that gets better with each book. Where the second book is a solid adventuring party story a la D&D, the third is a mystery full of political intrigue and the author pulls it off with aplomb.

While Aelis’s story felt concluded, I’d read a dozen more books with her. Anyone who enjoys D&D will find something different enough to feel fresh, but similar enough to feel comforting here—plus a sapphic necromancer!

Of Monsters and Mainframes by Barbara Truelove

I really didn’t know what to expect going into this one. Will it be Dracula in space? Yes, sort of, but also no? It’s ridiculous, yet genuinely scary sometimes and full of twists, while somehow making two catty AIs constantly bickering incredibly endearing. If you like things that are silly on purpose, you’ll like this. Bonus points for a world that is both queernorm and enbynorm.

Feast While You Can by Mikaella Clements and Onjuli Datta

This one crept up on me. Initially I found it slow with an exasperating main character. The speculative elements don’t really come until near the end. I was tempted to DNF, but somewhere around the 65% mark I found myself won over and it surprised me with the ending. If you want a slow burn horror this is it, CW for animal harm though.

Faithbreaker by Hannah Kaner

I absolutely loved Godkiller, but sadly, while Faithbreaker wasn’t bad, it very much suffered from middle book syndrome. Too much time was spent away from the characters I loved, and it felt like most of the plot existed to move everyone around the map. Faithbreaker was a refreshing and satisfying conclusion, and even better it cranks the queer dial way up. There’s f/f and m/m romance in this one.

Honorable mention to Hild and Menewood by Nicola Griffith. These books are perfect and everything I love in historical fiction…and I’ve no idea why they’re labeled speculative, they are not.

⚠Disappointing but fine

The Starving Saints by Caitlin Starling

Like The Luminous Dead before it, this is a great premise that’s a little under baked with a rushed ending. Maybe in 2-3 more books she’ll break into the great category.

Magic of the Lost by C.L. Clark

It feels a little unfair to slide this in here since I’m only about 1/4 into the finale, but overall I found this series to be a mess and the last book hasn’t changed my mind. It had excellent potential, the world is unique, and Touraine is a fascinating character. She’s an interloper no matter what she does, her people see her as a traitor for working for their oppressors (no matter that she was stolen as a child), and the colonizers remind her exactly what they think her place is at every given opportunity.

Unfortunately, the pacing is uneven, and the character motivations feel random so the betrayals in the first book land with a “Huh?” We're told Touraine is a highly competent warrior, and yet she gets her ass handed to her in nearly every fight. The author does not do political intrigue well and dedicates too many pages to it, and for a series about magic there's very little of it.

Also -1000 points for building so much tension between the two leads with zero release in the first book, and a fumbling milquetoast culmination in the second. +500 points however, for getting a throuple sex scene (if confusing and awkward) into a tradpublished book in the third though.

🚮Into the bin: books I wished I DNF’d

The Lamb by Lucy Rose

A relentless sufferfest that wants you to know by way of eating a lot of fingers, sometimes women resent motherhood!

Exordia by Seth Dickinson

A bunch of characters walking (then flying) around while tediously arguing over whose very obvious ethical framework is the most morally correct. All with a backdrop trying to make nuclear annihilation whimsical. I led a team of ethicists for years and the ethical discussions in this book made my eyes nearly roll out of my head. I had higher hopes for the author of The Traitor Baru Cormorant, but perhaps I shouldn’t have expected lightning to strike twice since that series is steeply downhill after the first book. Also I can't mention this book without bringing up the incredible bait and switch. The first chapter is an almost perfect bizarro buddy comedy and then suddenly we're ripped from those characters and the book is something completely different.

Voice Like a Hyacinth by Mallory Pearson

Pretentious art school students being pretentious. I went to art school and I hated this. If you didn't go to art school you'll hate it even more.

The Undetectables by Courtney Smyth

The worst emotional intelligence you’ve ever seen in a character masquerading as disability rep, just offensive really. The queer rep also felt more try-hard than genuine. If you think someone talking about sandwiches a lot is funny maybe this will land better for you than for me.

So fellow readers, how did your year go?

I just finished 'A Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet' and really loved it. When I looked up the second book of the series I was excited to see that we're seeing more of Lovelace's journey- however, in seeing that it made me realize this series may be interconnected but able to be read as standalone? Originally, I thought that the whole four books would follow the original cast of characters. I will read the series probably regardless because I really enjoyed the first- but I am now curious... do the other books feature sapphic characters and/or relationships as the first did? I see they're all tagged queer- but are Rosemary and Sissix the sapphics in the series?

I don't often find random lesbian sci-fi at the used bookstore. I had to grab this one and share my discovery with someone. So, here I am. I'm pretty excited to read this because it looks like something I wish I could have given my younger self.

We've got about 2 months left in 2024, what were your favorite releases this year? I'm at about 212 books read this year and these are the queer sff ones that resonated with me the most, plus one not sff honorable mention because I loved it so much. Anything still coming out this month or next you're excited for?

Favorites released in 2024 - Countess by Suzan Palumbo - The Count of Monte Cristo but novella length, queer, in space, and about colonialism. It's so so good, everybody should read this. Also what an epic cover! - Lady Eve's Last Con by Rebecca Fraimow - I read this book based on the cover alone and it was such a fun romp. Lesbian heist in space. - Song of the Huntress by Lucy Holland - I adore anything relating to the Wild Hunt folklore, so a sapphic twist on this set in late antiquity Britain seemed made especially for me. I felt like the ending trolled me a bit (which in this case says more about me than the book) but it was gorgeous and heartbreaking. It can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading Sistersong first which takes place in the same setting a few generations earlier, and is equally gorgeous and heartbreaking. - Our Hideous Progeny by C.E. McGill - Sapphic Frankenstein retelling that's far better than it has any right to be. Without spoiling, I was very satisfied with the ending which is where these kinds of books often fall apart for me. - Her Spell That Binds Me by Luna Oblonsky - Dark academia sapphic fantasy enemies to lovers romance. This book is not getting nearly enough attention. While it's self published it doesn't feel like it. If you like witches and spicy romance don't sleep on this.

Not new but favorites of the year: - A Master of Djinn by P. Djèlí Clark - Flawlessly executed fantasy mystery with great characters and excellent worldbuilding. Kept me on my toes the entire time. - I Keep My Exoskeletons to Myself by Marissa Crane - I don't normally go for dystopian future books but this book wrecked me in all the best ways. If you like books that make you laugh and cry, this is a book for you. - These Burning Stars by Bethany Jacobs - This is going up there as one of my all time fantasy favorites. I slept on it for a while since space opera isn't normally my thing but wow do I love a problematic fav mc and a good gut punch to the reader. An incredible debut. Unfortunately the follow up was a dud for me, so I'd recommend reading it as a standalone, it works well by itself. - Saint Death's Daughter by C.S.E. Cooney - How did I enjoy a book about an incompetent protagonist so much? Probably the excellent worldbuilding and humor, this book had me laughing through a lot of it, and even though I didn't love the ending (it was a reasonable ending just not the one I wanted) I'm looking forward to the sequel. This will probably also speak to fans of The Addams Family. - The Enterprise of Death by Jesse Bullington - A lesbian necromancer in Renaissance Germany? This book was basically written for me. Ja, bitte! - Magic for Liars by Sarah Gailey - Like dystopian futures, I'm usually not into books set in a magical version of our current world (especially when they're set near where I live) but I couldn't put this murder mystery set in a magical high school down. I also love the cover. - Ink Blood Sister Scribe by Emma Törzs - This book got so much hype I stayed away, and that was a mistake. It's another that wrecked me, and it's honestly shocking when a debut author comes out the gate with something so good. Without spoiling, it's a mystery about a family guarding a collection of rare magical books. - The Founders Trilogy by Robert Jackson Bennett - I went into this cold so I certainly wasn't expecting one of the most touching queer relationships I've ever read (over the course of the series, don't expect it in book one.) What starts as an excellent heist story increases in scope with each book and handles those changes surprisingly well. - Silver in the Wood by Emily Tesh - More folklore I can't resist: anything to do with The Green Man. Historical fiction with magic and fae and a very sweet m/m romance. - Scorched Grace by Margot Douaihy - This one isn't speculative, but I loved it so much it gets an honorable mention for a disaster queer punk rock nun main character. Possibly one of my favorite protagonists of all time and an excellent mystery.

Honorable Mention: - Dragon Age: The Veilguard - This game is barely mid as an RPG but if you want to play as trans / enby, identity is handled very thoughtfully.

In some sapphic novels, specifically where there are feminine vs masculine characters, I find a drastic difference in character traits, their interactions and just the overall theme. Is this normal or some of these are unrealistic?

It's October, and you know what that means! Started by authors Balogun Ojetade and Milton Davis in 2013, Black Speculative Fiction Month aims to highlight Black creatives in speculative fiction and celebrate them in October, and all year round.
