Anyway, if you are looking for new fantasy books to read that aren't racist and transphobic, for middle grade and YA, I'd recommend

The Wayward Children series by Seanan McGuire. Magical school! A boarding school for kids who come home from portal fantasies and don't know how to cope with being in regular old Earth anymore. Each book focuses on a different character, and they alternate between school adventures and flashbacks to the portal fantasies

Lobizona by Romina Garber. Magical school! When Manu is forced to go on the run after ICE detains her mother, her instincts lead her to a school for witches and werewolves, and she discovers that her father was a werewolf and mating with humans is forbidden. She must hide her half human status while trying to learn how to harness her magic so she can free her mother

Elatsoe by Darcie Little Badger. In a world where magic is the norm, Elatsoe has the power to raise ghosts, but specifically animal ghosts, as raising a human spirit is forbidden. When her cousin's spirit comes to her in a dream and says he was murdered, she must go to his town and use her abilities to investigate the magical conspiracy that lead to his death

Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas. Yadriel is a young brujo whose family won't let him participate in his coming of age ceremony to harness his power because they think their gendered magic system won't accommodate the fact that he's trans. In order to prove that he's a real brujo, he tries to summon and guide a ghost to the afterlife. He accidentally summons the spirit of the recently murdered bad boy at his school who refuses to go to the afterlife unless Yadriel helps him solve his murder

Percy Jackson and all it's spinoffs. While Riordan is far from perfect, he does at least make an active effort to listen to minority fans and do better

Anything in the Riordan presents imprint. While I've only read one of them so far (Race to the Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse- it was great), it's my understanding that the imprint prioritizes minority authors and representative stories that have the same feeling as the Percy Jackson series, so if you liked it, there should be plenty to pick from here

And for new adult and adult,

The Wrath & Athenaeum trilogy by Na'amen Gobert Tilahun. Split between two perspectives in parallel worlds. Eric, a young man living in San Francisco, learns he is descended from gods and is forcibly enrolled in a training program to fight beings from their parallel world trying to invade Earth. Lil, a librarian and witch apprentice living in said parallel world, is thrust into the deadly political court system as the regents try to find a way to fight the force destroying their world and forcing them to flee to Earth

The Broken Earth trilogy by NK Jemisin. Split perspectives from people who can manipulate the Eath (called orogenes) in a fantasy world that discriminates against them. Essun's husband, after discovering that their children are orogenes, beats their son to death and flees with their daughter. Essun tries to track him down and rescue her daughter. Damaya is a young girl who just found out she's an orogene and was abandoned by her parents because of it. She is taken to a school to learn how to control her powers. Syenite, a powerful orogene in their city where they isolate themselves from humans, is ordered to have a child with another powerful orogene in order to maintain their society. Also, the apocalypse is happening

The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon. Split between four perspectives in a fantasy world where dragons exist and half the world worships them and the other half despises them. Ead, a powerful mage, is sent to protect the queen of a realm that declares her people savages because it's claimed that Queen Sabran's bloodline continuing is the only thing that will stop dragons from rising. Tané is about to be trained as a dragon rider when she breaks the law to help a refugee and has to hide her crime. Loth, a knight in Sabran's court is sent on a suicide mission to negotiate with one of the dragon worshiping kingdoms. Roos, an exile from Sabran's kingdom agrees to hide Tané's refugee as he works on a plan to return home

The Hell's Library trilogy by AJ Hackwith. Afterlives house libraries that contain every work written and unwritten by humanity. When it's rumored that a book written by Lucifer has resurfaced and a war threatens to break out over control of the book, Hell's librarian and her friends try to get the book, broker peace, and discover the truth behind the existence of the libraries

Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse. Split between three perspectives as the return of an old god topples the power balance in a theocratic holy city. Serapio, the vessel for the god, must reach the holy city in time for the eclipse. Xiala, a member of a hunted magical minority, captains the pirate ship that ferries Serapio to the city. Narapa, a priestess who serves the reigning god in the holy city, fights for class equality, unaware of the old god's impending arrival

The Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea by Maggie Tokuda-Hall. Split in two perspectives. A young imperial woman is being sent towards her arranged marriage, but the ship she booked passage on is a pirate ship intending to sell her and the other passengers into slavery. A desperate orphan turned pirate on the ship is assigned to guard her. When the crew captures a mermaid, the pair bond over trying to protect and free her, fleeing the ship and winding up at the mercy of the sea and a powerful witch

Our Bloody Pearl by DN Bryn. Perle, a mute siren, has been captured and held hostage by a ruthless pirate trying to destroy sirens. They're rescued by another pirate who vows to protect them and help them heal from the wounds inflicted in capture, but they can't be sure if they can trust another human, and the original pirate will never stop hunting them, trying to capture Perle again

#long post #so much longer than intended #book recommendations #also most of these are queer
