We at the Fantasy Inn are always a fan of anything that helps people to discover new books they might enjoy. It’s one of the reasons we became reviewers in the first place.
This time, we explored female-authored speculative fiction! It’s mostly fantasy with a little science fiction thrown in for good measure.
We had a few goals when developing this flowchart:
- Include books from a variety of decades, not just recent releases.
- Provide enough variety that seasoned and novice fantasy readers alike can discover new books to love.
- Feature a variety of storytelling mediums, such as graphic novels, short fiction, and audio dramas.
- Only first books in a series are included, and each author is only listed once.
The final flowchart has 127 entries, and we could’ve included many more if we had room. Feel strongly about a book we left out? Let us know in a comment!
Here’s the chart:
