I appreciate my books cheerful, charming, and happy with a strong romance thread. So that’s what I’ve chosen for you today (mostly). However, there is a whole glorious mess of fabulous queer fantasy out there that deals in darker themes and has more violent tenancies.

Fantasy Books with Queer Romance in ‘em

1. The Lightning-Struck Heart by T.J. Klune

This book has so many things I adore in a fantasy. Extremely snarky gay noun main character. Lots of awesome magic. Horny hornless unicorns with a thing for scarves and dragon BDSM. Okay maybe I didn’t know I wanted that last one, but I do now!

Honestly, this book is hilarious. No really, I was reading it and actually crying with laughter, it’s that funny. This is basically my nerdy-heart’s ideal beach read.

Hey friend! If you&#;ve found yourself here, it&#;s because you&#;re looking for gay fantasy romance novels! I&#;m a HUGE book nerd (and lover of romance novels), so I&#;ve put together this guide based on my own adventures in reading.

I had been looking for gay romance novels for YEARS, and thought that I had to just put up with side stories featuring gay characters. As a queer person, representation is so important, and for years I struggled to find ANY LGBT characters in fantasy romance novels.

15 Superb LGBTQ+ Fantasy and Sci-fi Books

1) “The City We Became” by N.K. Jemisin

Gay/Lesbian, Bisexual, Asexual, Queer side characters

Genre: Cosmic Horror Urban Fantasy

Summary: Cities are alive. Some more literally than others. When New York City is born, it’s split between five avatars, and its primary goes missing. NYC’s weakened verb leaves it open for attack from an otherworldly entity set on wiping out all living cities. The four borough avatars must learn to function together to awaken their primary. Can they spare their city before the Enemy gains hold, or will It destroy everything they love?

2) “A Prolonged W

Yes, this is the third book of the series and I highly suggest the first two. They&#;re great. I&#;m highlighting The Ship of the Dead for a very specific reason, however: the way Riordan handles Magnus deciding whether or not he&#;s going to enter into a romantic relationship with Alex Fierro.

Their story is an enemies-to-lovers classic: Child of Loki meets Child of Frey while Loki is trying to murder said golden teen so shady deity can start Ragnarok (I signify, it&#;s a classic in my world, I don&#;t know about yours).
