forestofglory Grandmother-nai-Leylit’s Cloth of Wind By Rose Lemberg This the first story form Lemberg’s birdverse that I’ve read. Really enjoyed to complex culture and the family dynamics.
”Ghost Champagne” by Charlie Jane Anders This is bit creepier than what I normal rec, but it totally hit me right in the feels.
“Her Pound of Flesh” by Cassandra Khaw A fun (and a bit creepy) deconstruction of rescue tropes. Features women rescuing other women who don’t want to be rescued and have their own ideas.
I’ve also been reading Cranky Ladies of History ed Tansy Rayner Roberts and Tehani Wessely, which is an anthology of historical fiction about non-conforming women. Most of the stories are historical fiction but a few are historical fantasy. I’m enjoying it so far.
