So I've always really been a big fan of fantasy as a genre and the majority of its sub genres, but I've noticed that most, if not all of the books I've read have been by men, obviously mostly white guys. I love Tolkien, I have but have not yet read Game of thrones, I'm interested in Brandon Sandersons books, but I've been thinking I'd like to read some works in the genre by women and by people of color. So I'm making this post to get some suggestions on fantasy novels written by women authors, and I'm going to make another post soon for recommendations on fantasy novels written by POC because I believe that also deserves some dedicated recommendations. My only stipulation is that I'd prefer the romantic elements to be minimal as at least right now I'm not interested in that particular focus and trying to look up suggestions on google and many of the suggestions are romance novels.
I think it would be valuable to expand my knowledge of the genre beyond my same old comforts. I appreciate you and any recommendations in this venture.
