![]() ![]() ![]() We follow a group of students as they are being sent home from a prestigious space academy… on their first day! They all wash out for one reason or another, but while they are waiting on the shuttle to leave, the school is attacked. The Disasters by MK England is a gem of a YA sci-fi. This book is sweet and wholesome and just overall adorable. He must spend a month at the home with the children and their keeper. His world is flipped upside down when he is assigned to look into a magical orphanage filled with potentially dangerous children. Linus is a boring man, nothing special and nothing adventurous. We follow Linus, a social worker who works with magical children. While many of the books on this list aren’t as focused on romance, I think this one would be the most romance-focused. House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ KluneĪnother one of my favorite male/male fantasy romance books, House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune is another beautiful standalone. He decides to find out everything he can about this book, which leads him to a magical and mysterious secret society that will change his life forever. We follow Zachary, a college student who finds a story about his own childhood in a strange book in his school library. If that is okay with you though, it is a beautiful book where you can just enjoy the ride. There are stories within stories and honestly, you will be confused for most of your reading experience. It is purple prose at its finest, almost poetic in nature. This book is what I would say is very flowery. This isn’t a book for everyone though due to the unique way it is written. The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern is a stunningly beautiful gay fantasy book. Next up we have a standalone male/male fantasy romance book. Not only do we have a slow-burn sapphic romance, but we also have forbidden magic, revolution, and a whole lot of politics! This book can be described as slower-paced, but it does an excellent job of worldbuilding and connecting you with the characters. This book is an Indian-inspired fantasy with a queer enemies-to-lovers trope that is so well done. An imprisoned sister to the emperor who is meant to be executed, and a maidservant who is in hiding due to escaping a genocidal event in her youth. This is a newer YA fantasy that borders much more on adult fantasy. Moving on from a book where the romance is a side character to an LQBT fantasy where the romance is between the two central characters, we have The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri. It is what it is and no one even mentions it, which honestly I love. These fathers are shown as loving their kids and in a healthy and loving relationship with each other.Įven better, the fact that they are gay is not even a big deal in this world. Something I think YA fantasy is missing, in general, is good parental figures. I love how their relationship is written, and I especially love how their parenting is shown. One of our main superheroes has two gay fathers, and it is beautifully done. not only does it have great friendships and a cute young romance, but it also has a main character with two amazing dads. This YA superhero book series is super cute. ![]() Starting out with the lightest of the romances we have Renegades by Marissa Meyer. But if you want books that have beautiful LGBTQ romances as a subplot in a fantasy book, then these will be right up your alley. If you are looking for books that are more romance-heavy, these may not be for you. These books are first and foremost, fantasy books (with a little sci-fi thrown in for fun). I personally don’t tend to read books that have romance as the main plot, so make sure you keep that in mind when you are going through this list. Most of these books I am going to recommend to you have queer romance as a subplot. Nor are they even really “fantasy romance”. If you are looking for them, then you can find them right here in a nice little list for you. There are some fantastic gay fantasy books with excellent LGTBQ+ representation within them. That really isn’t the case at the moment though, and fantasy has really started to become a much more diverse genre. In the world of fantasy, for some reason, it seems like there are mainly straight romantic relationships. Looking for the best queer fantasy books to add to your reading list? Check out these gay fantasy books with amazing LGTBQ+ representation.
