I just finished Rebecca Yarros onyx storm.
This series presents: a fantasy world with strong female leads, dragons, romance and comedy with easy to immerse intrigue.
Taken deeper, it’s a shockingly apt and amazing commentary on the construction of history surrounding politics and war. I am loving the re read.
The books are clearly works of a fantasy genre and could even be shelved with the Romance novels. But they are shockingly and amazing more. In such a saturated genre, they delight and challenge and question reader’s assumptions.
I remember discovering Dan Browns works. Stories set in a “real world” using “real world” “truths” to re weave and write a narrative that someone from another time and world could mistake as pure fact.
What authors have I missed that have done this with their works?
Are there any autobiography or biographies that provoke thought and challenge what if this way? I am looking to challenge my ideas on narratives outside of start conflict and resolution, and would love to hear others stories on books that made them go, wow, that was clever.
