Confessions of the Fox 

I'm gonna be extremely predictable and say Virginia Woolf's 'Orlando'. A classic, I know, but I highly recommend it to anyone who might not have read it yet.

I haven't read any novels with trans or non-binary but this one some interesting so far. I'll give it a chance. The only LGBT novel I've even read is "Volle" by Kyell Gold. I honestly thought it's okay. I didn't hate it but I don't love it either. The sex scenes were alright when it comes to the details but the plot felt more like filler than the main focus of the story, in my opinion. I kinda stop reading it midway through. I might re-read it and maybe I'll have a different opinion on it.

Viscera by Gabriel Squailia has an openly trans protagonist and multiple other trans supporting characters, with a lot of major themes surrounding gender identity and societal perspectives. It's a dark fantasy of sorts taking place in a setting filled with long dead gods who's ancient corpses still alter the land the characters find themselves in. It is a very intense read with violence and such, but it's open take on trans and nonbinary identities in a fantasy setting is something I greatly appreciated.

I'm reading a fantasy series right now with a significant character who is gender non conforming. It's the realm of the elderlings but I'm only 4 books out of a dozen-ish in. I don't really know how this character feels about their gender identity because getting their thoughts is heartbreaking rare so far

Crowne Prince hi crown yeah this guy does have a cool new intro

THIEF TAKER GENERAL

Yeah I too am sold on the book already having heard that. I stumbled upon the Theif-Taker Hangings by Aaron Skirboll and Jonathan Wild's story was a wild read.

YEAH

@@CloudCuckooCountry Yes! I follow most of his stuff! I recently watched his vid on moving to become an in-house employee for TFS. Really exciting. Thanks for the reply. And great editing, too.

I just checked and, whoops, I wasn't aware. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll make sure to use the correct grammar in the future.

I actually think a drastic change like that is more than acceptable for historical fiction because it's immediately obvious what artistic liberties the story is taking. I have gripes with historical fiction IF it's unclear what parts are authentic and what parts are artistic liberty because it runs the risk of misinforming the audience. (e.g. HBO's Chernobyl. Great show, but it's often unclear what's historical and what's fiction.)

It's not transphobia to have views on whether real historical figures should be significantly fictionalised in retellings (not saying that view is correct, obviously that would have you disliking most retellings of shepard's life)

Hey glad you find my channel useful. No worries, I don’t expect everyone to love all the books I love, and hopefully I can recommend you some more that you’ll enjoy from start to finish

This series is intended to be less analysis and more consumer review, and that comes with a lot of stylistic changes: I’m trying to convince the viewer to seek out and read the novel themselves. So it’s going to rely less on pulling detailed evidence from the novel (to avoid spoilers) and will be more opinion-based. The excerpt is also intended to be more of a spoiler-lite sample of what you can expect if you read the novel, rather than as supporting evidence for my claims. It’s all kinda geared towards the consumer review purpose. That being said, I recognise that there are still things I have to improve within this style. For example, I think you’re right that I could’ve chosen a better excerpt to showcase. However, this series has gotten way more feedback from viewers who told me that they purchased the novel based on my recommendation, which was ultimately my goal, so I consider the style to be successful on that front. If that’s not what you want from this channel, that’s absolutely fine, everyone has their own tastes, but it’s what I prefer to make for the foreseeable future and I hope you’ll stick around regardless. I still have a Book Burning or two left in me!
