Two absolutely lovely guests, I had a blast watching this replay! They always make me want to get back to some backlist fantasy, but still the new shiny releases keep distracting me lol. Great discussion!!
What a great chat!! Its such a green flag when men will pick up female authors just as easily as male... And I loved hearing so many author names that are rare to be discussed on booktube. I actually have two Melanie Rawn trilogies on my shelf (Dragon Prince included!) that my husband has been telling me to read forever, and this might have been the push I needed! Though there's a lot to like about modern fantasy, more classic 90s work just hits different!
Lynn Flewelling is another great female author from the 90s and early 2000s but sort of forgotten. I loved her book The Bone Done’s Twin. It has that gothic horror feel to it.
An under the radar female author I read years ago is Hellene Wecker. Her famous book is The Golem and the Jinni, a historical fiction/fantasy novel set in 19th century NYC and deals with themes around immigration and assimilation of culture and identity and what it means to be human/part of a culture.

Thank you so much! I'm glad this inspired you to read those series, and I agree that 90s fantasy hits differently. Happy reading!
Sorry I missed the live chat…. 😊 it looks a lot of fun… 🎉
Thank you, Safina! 😊

Thank you so much for sharing about Lynn Flewelling! I'll have to look up that book!

I always appreciate hearing about under the radar female authors. Thank you for recommending Hellene Wecker!
Seems like everyone is team Mat for WoT, except me. 😅My favourite character is Verin Mathwin.
I've never heard about that character, but I've never read the series 😅
@@Johanna_reads She''s sort of a side character. Her character development arc through the series was amazing to me though.
