One of the best things that has happened in the bookish world over the past couple of years is the boom in diverse fantasy and I am so here for it! As a huge supporter of #weneeddiversebooks, I’m here to shake you hard, call upon you gently, and shove these books in your face in an attempt to make you read these wonderfully diverse YA fantasy novels!

The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi
Goodreads | Amazon | Book Depository

Set in an alternate 1800s Paris, The Gilded Wolves features a complex magic system and an incredible history! The writing is delectable and readers will be a nervous trainwreck throughout the whirlwind of robberies, heists, and constant danger. Doesn’t that sound fun?

Still unconvinced? Well the book also features a group of disaster children who come together to be an adorable but found family. Bonus point is there is diversity here, there, and everywhere. There is an Indian dancer with a hidden ability, an autistic Jewish prodigy with ambitions of her own, a chaotic bisexual Slytherin, and a Filipino/Spanish bisexual history geek. Can you hear my heart explode with happiness?

Wonder Woman: Warbringer by Leigh Bardugo
Goodreads | Amazon | Book Depository

There are badass females, wonderfully written female friendships, dialogues with 300% sass, and action scenes that will make the reader jump around!

Leigh Bardugo being an absolute queen can write so much diversity into a single book and not have it feel like diversity for the sake of ticking the boxes. The Amazonians themselves are so wonderfully diverse. Then there’s Alia who has a Greek father and an African-American mother, Nim has Indian roots and is bi, and Theo is a nerdy Mediterranean guy who is just so endearing.

As the rule is with any Bardugo book, this book will make you laugh, cry, and all the while root for the lovely band of misfits.

Mooncakes by Suzanne Walker
Goodreads | Amazon | Book Depository

Mooncakes is a perfect mix of magic, witchcraft, casual diversity, warm fuzzy feels, and adorable art. Books with modern witches are the aesthetic the whole of Tumblr is screaming for. The lovely graphic novel delivers all that and more; the cherry on the top being the beautiful art.

The main character Nova is Chinese-American, queer, and lives with her badass and super sweet grandmothers who are a couple. And they’re a family of witches! They run a bookshop that also sells witchcraft books. There are books that bite, archdemons, spell inventing, cute spirits in the forest, and more!

Tam is Nova’s non-binary Chinese-American crush from her childhood and they’re just super adorable and cute. Also Nova has a hearing disability and wears hearing aids and I loved how the book acknowledges the trouble she has with them.

Witches of Ash and Ruin by E. Latimer
Goodreads | Amazon | Book Depository

Here is another book with modern witches, but one that is a lot darker than Mooncakes. An urban fantasy with Celtic mythology, it mainly follows Dayna who suffers from somatic OCD as a result of being outed as bisexual in her conservative Irish town where her father is the Reverend.

Buying potion ingredients after school, discussing schoolwork while brewing potions, wearing good luck charms to school; the modern witch aesthetic speaks to my soul.

The story deals with a lot of different friendships and relationships; both good and bad and it has multiple morally grey characters making the character dynamics all the more interesting. It is a super diverse and witchy book replete with badass females, found families, and a fair share of mythology.

Labyrinth Lost by Zoraida Córdova
Goodreads | Amazon | Book Depository

Once again we have another witchy novel, this time with brujas, Deadthday celebrations, and magical lands between the dead and the living. Most, if not all, characters are PoC plus we have a bisexual protagonist and a lesbian main character.

There are so many characters in the story and each had their own voice, you could never mistake one for another. The imagery is beautiful and the world building is on point. The world of Labyrinth Lost is so interesting and complex that you’d get sucked in at page one, right off the bat.

It’s a well written wonderfully diverse story with memorable characters who’ll stay with you long after you’ve closed the book. If you love adventures across new realms and enjoy reading about sassy and interesting characters, this book is for you.

Otherbound by Corinne Duyvis
Goodreads | Amazon | Book Depository

Fun fact – the author, Corinne Duyvis, is the one who first came up with the term and the hashtag #OwnVoices on Twitter!

This book deserves applause for the beautifully diverse characters the author has created. There is so much racial, sexual, and ethnic diversity in this book, but this is not an “issue” book. This is a book with well-written characters who just happen to be wonderfully diverse.

Amara, the female protagonist is mute (due to having her tongue removed as a child). Nolan, the male protagonist, has a prosthetic leg and suffers from ‘seizures’ when he is sucked into Amara’s world. They are uniquely bound to each other despite living in two different worlds. The plot is about how they deal with this connection while also handling their respective problems in their own worlds.

Unique, diverse, and engaging, it’s a standalone that’s not to be missed.

Shadowshaper by Daniel José Older
Goodreads | Amazon | Book Depository

This is an urban fantasy about an artist finding out about her family’s magical history and trying to understand her powers. The best part of the book is undoubtedly the magic using which art can be brought to life.

Sierra Santiago finds the street art around her locality fading and moving, making her dig a little deeper into what happened to her grandfather all those years ago before he became almost comatose. There is Caribbean magic, Spanish customs, and all the diversity that comes with being in a cosmopolitan Brooklyn.

The book is fast-paced; like breakneck fast and the plot jumpstarts from literally the first line. It’s a solid first book introducing us to a diverse cast of characters, a wonderful magic system, and leaves readers asking for more.

Elysium Girls by Kate Pentecost
Goodreads | Amazon | Book Depository

A walled city surrounded by the desert of sand and steel, watched by Life and Death. That would be an underrated and simplistic way of describing it. Elysium is the city the two sisters, Life and Death are betting over. They are betting over it’s survival in the harshest conditions trying to tip the scales in their favour by using their wildcard.

Author Kate Pentecost plays with tropes, teases us with the idea of cliche tropes but before we can groan about it, she reinvents the whole trope and gives us something unique. There is Sal, the orphaned main character who is something of an outsider within Elysium. There is Asa, the demon in human form, something of a chosen one, a wildcard who appears pretty much out of nowhere at the Elysium. There is so much chance this could have been “orphan girl meets mysterious stranger boy and goes lovey eyed”. Readers almost expect that to happen but the brilliant story teller that is Pentecost turns it all around and if you want to know exactly what she does; READ. THE. BOOK.

Scavenge The Stars by Tara Sim
Goodreads | Amazon | Book Depository

Scavenge The Stars is a genderbent retelling of the Count of Monte Cristo! The protagonist Amaya is Indian and has been sold into servitude on a debtor ship but, when she accidentally rescues a stranger, she becomes entangled in a dark mystery; one that might just help her exact revenge for the way her family was wronged. The other protagonist, our hot mess Cayo is East Asian and as the author mentions in her mood board on Twitter; a chaotic bisexual.

Tara Sim takes a classic story and turns it into something altogether new. Scavenge the Stars may be a story of revenge, but it deals with so much more. If you love diverse characters, flawed protagonists, endearing secondary characters, and a dash of political intrigue, this is the book for you.

Dark and Deepest Red by Anna-Marie McLemore
Goodreads | Amazon | Book Depository

A retelling of both the age old fairytale Red Shoes and the very real historical epidemic of 1518’s dancing plague, this is a super unique and utterly enchanting story of prejudice, knowing your roots, and friendships.

The story switches between Strasbourg in 1518 and the current day, exactly five centuries later. In 1518, Lavinia and her little family fall under the suspicion of having caused the dancing plague and in the current day Rosella Oliva is stuck with red shoes that make her dance and won’t come off her feet.

As with all of Anna-Marie McLemore’s books, this too is beautifully diverse in every which way. Rosella and Emil in current day are dealing with their family histories and Romani culture in their own way while Lavinia and Alifair and dealing with being Romani and queer in 1518. The story deals with a lot – racism, oppression, and seclusion of those whom the society deems as “other”, but it also deals with staying true to who you are and standing up against a society that tries to erase you.

The post March 2020 Book Releases: Fantasy + Sci-Fi appeared first on The Nerd Daily.

We had the pleasure of chatting to author E. Latimer ahead of the release of Witches of Ash and Ruin, a new fantasy book featuring Celtic mythology and a serial killer! From the different writing challenges, the writing process for Dayna and Meiner, to the discussions about mental health representation in YA literature and possible adaptations, you’ll get a glimpse of what you can expect of this new fantasy book in today’s interview!

Hi E. Latimer! Can you tell us a little about yourself?

I’d love to! I’m a Canadian author from Victoria, BC who writes books about magic and witches. When I’m not writing in various coffee shops in my hometown, I can be found curled up with a good book, or making videos with the Word Nerds over on Youtube.

Your new novel, Witches of Ash and Ruin, releases on March 3^rd. What can readers expect?

My first goal when writing a book is that readers can escape to another world. And this one has got rival covens teaming up to stop a serial killer, girls falling in love with girls, vengeful Irish gods, and lots of black magic.

This is your first time writing YA fantasy. How does it differ from writing a middle grade book? Were you faced with any new challenges?

To be honest, it was kind of fun not to censor myself nearly as much. I was really able to unleash that weird goth girl who sat in the corner and read Stephen King books for all of highschool. You don’t get to write about a lot of ritual blood magic in middle grade.

Also, kissing, lots of kissing going on this time.

What sparked your interest for writing a YA fantasy book featuring Celtic mythology? And how does the mystery element of the serial killer tie into it?

I’ve always loved mythology. Celtic mythology especially, always felt like it had a lot of untapped potential. That’s not to say there aren’t books out there that deal with Celtic mythology (and do it well, too) but it’s definitely not as well explored as something like Greek mythology.

I really wanted to dive into the world and play, to put my own twist on things, and there’s so much room to do that here. That’s one of the things I tied the serial killer in with, because of course, the killer has motivations related to the mythology (that’s not a spoiler, I promise).

What was your favourite part of writing Witches of Ash and Ruin? What was the hardest part?

My favourite part was writing the meeting between Meiner and Dayna. They really dislike one another at first and that kind of antagonism is so fun to write.

The hardest part had to be writing about Dayna’s OCD, since it’s something I share. I had to be careful not to trigger myself and send myself into a spiral when I was going into the longer descriptions of her obsession, so I ended up taking a lot of breaks.

Let’s talk about the cast of characters in Witches of Ash and Ruin. What was your writing process for Dayna and Meiner?

I’m not someone who writes out character profiles, though I am a plotter. I kind of discover more about the cast as I write, which means I have to go through several times while editing and flesh out each character. I think Meiner came the hardest for me, because she’s got a lot of anger, and I don’t (at least not usually) so I had trouble striking a balance with her. I wanted her to be angry about her circumstances, but not so much that she was annoying to read about.

Dayna was a little easier, since she’s the character most like me, but as I mentioned above, writing about her mental illness was a bit rough, so they each had their challenges.

A big part of the story centers around the fact that Dayna is outed as bisexual in a conservative town. How would you say Witches of Ash and Ruin reflects real-life issues we’re facing today?

I’ve talked about this before with my other bisexual friends, and discovered how common it is for someone to out you in a “mini” way, if you know what I mean. Like, you’re not totally out yet, maybe you’ve just told a few friends you trust or something.  And then someone says something to a friend or a partner you haven’t told. It’s so casual and such a small thing, like, it’s only one person. But I had it happen to me twice in a space of a few weeks when I was first slowly coming out, and it really does open you up to judgement, even if the person who outted you didn’t realize what they were doing, or didn’t think it was a big deal or whatever.

It’s like repeatedly having to come out to people, which is a constant thing as well.

The main character of Witches of Ash and Ruin has somatic OCD. What is your take on importance of mental health representation in YA literature?

One of the reasons I wanted to delve into the issues of mental illness was because I never got to see it portrayed in my fantasy books when I was growing up. It just wasn’t something I’d ever seen. It’s getting a lot better now, but I think we all deserve to see ourselves in the genres we love.

I think seeing accurate depictions of mental illness in YA lit not only allows for readers to deeper connect with a character like them, but it can spread empathy and understanding in general.

If Witches of Ash and Ruin were to be adapted, what format would you prefer and why? Any dream casting options you’d like to share? Any dream locations that would work for your story?

Well location would have to be Ireland, for sure. As for format, I keep getting told it should be a Netflix series, which would be awesome.

As for casting, I always pictured Dayna as looking a bit like Raffey Cassidy.

Time for a fangirly question! If the cast of Witches of Ash and Ruin lived in our world, which celebrities would they be crushing on?

This is a fantastic question. I think Meiner would have a crush on Kiernan Shipka from Sabrina, and Dayna would definitely be in love with Tati Gabrielle from the same show.

Reagan would probably still be crushing on young Harrison Ford (because Star Wars) and Bronagh would loudly proclaim about how dreamy “that Thor actor is” much to Faye’s disgust.

If you had to describe your book in three words, what would they be?

Witches Hunt Killers.

And last but not least, do you have any book recommendations for our readers? Any 2020 releases we should add to our TBR?

Oh dear, hold on to your butts.  The 2020 releases I’m most looking forward to are:
– Belle Revolte, by Linsey Miller
– The Winter Duke, by Claire Eliza Bartlette
– Ink in the Blood, by Kim Smejkal
– Girl, Serpent, Thorn, by Melissa Bashardoust
– The Dark Tide, by Alicia Jasinska
