Inspired by a tweet saying “Every time you complain about Martin, Rothfuss, or Lynch taking a long time to complete their series, you have to buy the first volume of a completed epic fantasy series by a non-male or BIPOC author.” I set out to make a list of 20 queer fantasy series that are already complete.

As fantasy seems to be getting more hype than science fiction right now, I sat down and looked at what queer science fiction titles are releasing in 2022 and quickly decided to make a list, highlighting my favorite of all science fiction subgenres: space operas / books set in space.

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I like to come up with all kinds of themes and topics to recommend queer science fiction and fantasy books. The A-Z challenge is well known in the bookish world, but I had yet to actually make use of it but here we finally are.
