Goodreads: 72 Recent and Upcoming Fantasy Novels to Take Your Reading Global

According to GoodReads: "One of the great benefits of the fantasy novel is that the setting can be, quite literally, anywhere at all. Stories can be told in any world the author can imagine, unbound by geography or history or even the pesky time-space continuum.

With this collection, we're spotlighting speculative fiction since 2020—on both adult and YA shelves—that reflects this hyper-global approach. Fantasy has evolved beyond its traditional medieval European roots, thank the demigods. Here you'll find stories inspired by the folklore of South America, the mythology of Arabia and Africa, and the legends of ancient China.

For some of these books, "the real world" serves as a vague reference point. We've got magical alt-history in 1893 Boston, alchemy in 1912 Cairo, or ghosts (and romance) in modern-day Los Angeles. You can go back in time to discover nascent settlements along the spice roads. Or you can go for broke and read about multiple sentient cities around the world."
