Just finished the Winternight trilogy by Katherine Arden and absolutely loved it. Also recently read the Emily Wilde books and loved them, too. Does anyone have any recommendations for similar stories that deal with folklore, fey, faeries, the hidden folk, etc? Bonus points if there’s queer representation.

Uprooted and Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik
The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison was pretty good. Not exactly fey but has that folklore vibe with court intrigue. Also check out In Other Lands by Sarah Rees Brennan, queer rep and deals with magical creatures.
The Wandering Inn has faeries late into the series, and queer representation, so maybe it would work.
There’s a collection of poetry based around scottish folklore called Grimoire by Robin Robertson. There’s also a collection of Queer Folk Tales by Kevin Walker.
The River Has Roots by Amal El-Mohtar! Checks all the boxes and has gorgeous prose!
