I'm looking to write a queer magic school book but I realize my only real familiarity with the genre is with the series that shall not be named. I remember watching shows like 'Worst Witch' when I was younger, but that's where my experience stops.
I know there are other renown series within the genre but i'm not really aware of them specifically and would love some recommendations, preferably sapphic themed magic academy books but I'll also take queer magic books in general.
I just finished Hungerstone by Kat Dunn a few days ago and needed to let it percolate before deciding on a new book. Unfortunately Hungerstone wasn't really what I hoped for, based on the recommendations I got. It was sold to me as a retelling of carmilla with sapphic vampires and it is neither. That said it perfectly encapsulated Feminine Rage really well and if it was divorced from the Carmilla label entirely I would of liked it more. (even if the story is mainly steeped in white feminism.) I rate it a 3 out of 5.
Hoping my next read is more exciting
