Author Audrey Coulthurst
Queer Identities: The protagonist is a bisexual woman who has a relationship with a man and a woman in the course of the story. It is a setting without homo/biphobia
Content warnings: ritualistic cutting/self-harm
Whether or not there is a romantic relationship, and if there is one, what type is the pairing (F/F, M/M, M/NB, F/M, etc): f/f and f/m
Whether or not the story contains explicit sexual content: implied
Whether or not the queer protagonist survives: yes
Whether or not the queer protagonist ends up in a romantic relationship with all members alive: yes

Title: Of Fire and Stars
Author: Ann Coulthurst
The protagonist’s queer identity and any intersecting identities: two wlw princesses, one bisexual the other I’m not sure. Other minor characters are also in same-sex couplings
Content warnings: none
Whether or not there is a romantic relationship, and if there is one, what type is the pairing (F/F, M/M, M/NB, F/M, etc): f/f
Whether or not the story contains explicit sexual content: yes (like, PG-13)
Whether or not the queer protagonist survives: yes
Whether or not the queer protagonist ends up in a romantic relationship with all members alive: yes f/f
Whether the book contains any important platonic relationships, such as friends or family: as a court drama, family is a big tension. The setting doesn’t have homophobia, however the duty of the princess to marry her betrothed prince (and not his sister) creates the turmoil.
]]>Sorry! Got too excited and didn’t read all the way through:
Pan protagonist and her female love interest both survive. They’re not “together” at the end but it’s very much a hopeful new beginning and heavily implied that they will get together in the near future.
Polyam triad all survive and are together.
]]>The Crimson Empire Trilogy (A Crown for Cold Silver, A Blade of Black Steel, and A War in Crimson Embers) by Alex Marshall is stunning.
It’s a queer ensemble and though no-one’s sexuality is ever stated explicitly the central character could certainly be interpreted as pansexual. (She’s also over 5o which I think is a category worth having?)
Since the books are structured much like A Song of Ice and Fire (with multiple point of view characters, many of whom are Important) I would also put it in the polyamory category. It’s F/M/M and the characters involved are an East Asian cis woman, a disabled East Asian trans man, and a Black cis man.
Content warnings for strong violence, horror elements, and sex.
There’s a bunch of other great rep as well but these were the categories you mentioned needed fleshing out on Twitter!
