Six LGBTQ+ fantasy books to check out

written by Betsy Flak on 2018-12-10

Get ready to fill up your e-reader for the holiday break! Here are six LGBTQ+ fantasy books to check out. Three are free for everyone and three are free for Kindle Unlimited (KU) members only (but non-KU members can still buy them).

Side note: I tried to use my typical criteria of at least 4.3 stars over 50+ reviews, but I had to adjust the criteria in some cases. I did check out the reviews and the descriptions and every single one of these books sounded interesting. Check them out for yourself!

Make sure to check the price before you buy. As always, prices are subject to change!
