Day 27 - If a book contains ______, you will always read it (and a book or books that contain it)!
Steampunk/Fantasy outside of the Western Europe mold/Awesome Lady Leads
Feel free to rec based on this stuff.
As for recs~
Steampunk & Awesome Lady Leads: Larklight Trilogy/Arcadia Snips and the Steamwork Consortium. I've gabbed lots about them in past meme posts.
Fantasy Outside Disney-Europe Model: The only one I can remember is The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin. To be honest this entire book is a big step away from the standard fantasy fare as its a big deconstruction of the 'what happens when a small time person suddenly becomes an heir to the big empire's throne' along with introspective stuff like the difference between gods and humans and the lady protag's mommy issues. IDK, I like it but I can see why others wouldn't so just putting it out there for those who may be interested.
No wait, there's The Silver Phoenix by Cindy Pon which is basically fun/cheesy Wuxia.
And those two books also have awesome lady leads.
