No Man of Woman Born by Ana Mardoll

5.0

The 'prophecy twist' trope is one of my favourite tropes ever, and discovering a book which plays with it as a theme, and adds in LGBT+ and gender-variant characters makes it even more excellent! The stories in this book take on a variety of fantasy settings, and a variety of prophecies. Given that every story relies on the same theme, it would be very easy for them to become repetitive, but they don't - these are all genuinely powerful stories. In many cases, the validation of the prophecy is the first validation the characters have received, which makes the stories triumphant and empowering. They're also just really enjoyable for anyone who likes fantasy!
