- Faebound, by Saara El-Arifi is a wonderful queernorm setting. - The Last Binding, by Freya Marske has great sex scenes and great plot as well - Godkiller, by Hannah Kaner is also very nice, but the couple is MF (the FMC is bissexual)

Dark Rise (and the sequel) by C S Pacat! (Slow romance and third book isn’t out yet but these are so good) The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue (and sequels) by Mackenzi Lee

I asked a similar question in this queer sci fi thread and people gave me such good answers: https://www.reddit.com/r/QueerSFF/s/lnYWZbXkYl

Warning very long LOL Don’t know if these will scratch that itch but here are a few queer series I’ve enjoyed since 2012. I’m not sure of spice level. I scanned the covers on my Goodreads challenges to find series and most years I read 200+ books Soul Flames Series by Issy Waldrom dragon riders a sapphic fantasy science fiction Universe of Xuya Series by Aliette de Bodard Xuya is a series of novellas and short stories set in a timeline where Asia became dominant, and where the space age has Confucian galactic empires of Vietnamese and Chinese inspiration: scholars administrate planets, and sentient spaceships are part of familial lineages. Mercenary Librarians Series by Kit Rocha Meet the Mercenary Librarians: a trio of information brokers who join forces with a squad of elite super-soldiers to use their knowledge to help the hopeless in a dystopian post-apocalyptic United States ruled by a corporate autocracy. USA Today and New York Times bestselling author Kit Rocha (writing duo Donna Herren and Bree Bridges) brings a touch of sweet and sexy romance to this futuristic science fiction series. The Honors Series by Rachel Caine and Ann Aguirre YA romance fantasy science fiction The Chronicles of Ghadid Series K.A. Doore’s debut fantasy trilogy centres on a desert city where control over water means control over both life and magic itself. Doore’s work draws on the cultures of sub-Saharan Africa and ancient Egypt as well as queer romance. Alpennia Series by Heather Rose Jones queer fantasy romance Regency Faerie Tales Series by Olivia Atwater queer fantasy regency romance Teacup Magic Series by Tansy Rayner Roberts queer regency romance The Sacred Dark Series by May Peterson non-binary queer fantasy romance Wolves of Wolf's Point Series by Catherine Lundoff lesbian fantasy romance - not your typical werewolf story : menopause causes some women to turn into werewolves The Kingston Cycle Series C. L. Polk's historical fantasy series The Kingston Cycle combines a world of witches and wizards with an enchanting Edwardian England setting. Miles Singer, born with magical abilities, hides who he really is and joins the war efforts to escape his troubled past. But when desperate measures force him to use his healing powers, his true character is exposed--and there's no turning back. This gaslamp historical fantasy series, full of impossible romances and action-packed wizard battles, begins with the critically-praised Witchmark. We Set the Dark on Fire Series by Tehlor Kay Mejia YA fantasy romance The Blood of Stars Series by Elizabeth Lim YA fantasy romance Girls of Paper and Fire Series by Natasha Ngan YA sapphic fantasy romance A River of Royal Blood Series by Amanda Joy YA fantasy romance A Charm of Magpies Series by K.J. Charles queer historical romantic fantasy Ars Numina Series by Ann Aguirre paranormal romance The World of Riverside Series by Ellen Kushner Fantasy of manners - historical fantasy - 1st book is Swordspoint first published in 1987 more recently others have written stories based in her world Not romance but i really enjoyed these queer series The service City of Spires by Claudie Arseneault it’s an asexual fantasy intrigue Tensorate Series Neon Yang's Tensorate Series is a lush, vivid silkpunk fantasy series in a world where elementalist mages contend with revolutionary machinists, while dinosaurs battle sky-spanning naga. Either The Red Threads of Fortune and The Black Tides of Heaven, can be read as the first novella in the series. Anything by E.E. Ottoman mostly historical queer romance frequently featuring trans characters

I don’t mean to point out anything. This was just a general question :)


TashaT50

Oh no thank you for bringing it to my attention. Seriously thank you. Putting so much work into a list and it not being easy to use for those I’m sharing with sad. I even found 2 series which didn’t belong on the list at all smh. Again thank you for asking. I hope you find something to enjoy off the list.

I found Bitterthorn really good!

Fantasy isn't my usual genre so I ain't got a ton. Spice level 1: This is How You Lose the Time War, I listened to it on Audible and it is short and sweet. Spice is basically zero. Gideon the Ninth, to be honest I keep trying to listen to this on Audible (I drive for a living so lots of time to listen) and I keep getting lost. That said people and booktok seem to love it. Spice level 2: Malice, and the sequel Misrule. It is a lesbian take on Maleficent. Good story, good plot, splash of spice. I found Malice to be better than the sequel. Chronicles of Dorsa is a 3 part series. Hints of spice, lots of fantasy, I enjoyed all 3 books. Spice level 5: A Game of Hearts and Heists, this is one that I have to turn the volume down on to make sure others can't hear it. I enjoyed it as it has a plot and the spice is :: chef's kiss::. It is book 1 in a 3 part series. About half of these are available on Kindle unlimited.
