Without trying to, all of my favorite authors ended up being women. Here are my top 5 amazing writers!
- Leigh Bardugo
-
Leigh Bardugo is the amazing author of the Grishaverse series and Ninth House. Her books are all diverse, gripping, and unique!
- Marissa Meyer
-
Marissa Meyer made her mark on the fantasy world with her series, The Lunar Chronicles, which is a retelling of fairytales in a science fiction world. I didn’t think she could do any better than this series, but she proved me wrong with her trilogy, Renegades. I have yet to read a book by her that I didn’t like.
- JK Rowling
-
Opinions on The Cursed Child aside, JK Rowling created the world of Harry Potter, changing fantasy and young adult fiction forever.
- RF Kuang
-
RF Kuang is fairly new to the world of writing. Her first novel, The Poppy Wars, is a fantasy world based on Asian culture and society. It’s grim, fascinating, and impossible to put down.
- Kiersten White
-
Keirsten White is another amazing author who takes traditional stories and fairytales and retells them in a much more interesting way. She turns female characters into powerful and important members of the narrative.
