Fandom/Canon Name: The Bone Palace (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7822865-the-bone-palace), by Amanda Downum

What's awesome about it: It's a gorgeous, emotional, mystery-adventure novel featuring three characters with complicated intertwining relationships. There are amazing, strong, well-developed female protagonists, one of whom is transgender. There is also a polyamorous relationship, and explorations of sexuality, gender, and monogamy. This book has some of the most amazing fictional women I've ever read, and there is so much room at the end of this book for their story to continue.

There is an excellent article here by Brit Mandelo which goes into more detail about the characters and themes: Queering SFF: The Bone Palace by Amanda Downum (https://www.tor.com/2011/01/10/queering-sff-the-bone-palace-by-amanda-downum/)

There's also a fan letter here, far more eloquent than I, by Jia: REVIEW: The Bone Palace by Amanda Downum (http://dearauthor.com/book-reviews/overall-b-reviews/b-reviews/review-the-bone-palace-by-amanda-downum/)

This book is technically the second in a series, but it is a standalone novel, no prior knowledge required.

Where to find: Public libraries, Barnes & Noble (https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/bone-palace-amanda-downum/1100259253?ean=9780316069007), Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Bone-Palace-Necromancer-Chronicles/dp/0316069000/)

Checking it out from the library based on poly goodness!

I hope you enjoy it! I really loved the treatment of polyamory, the book does a great job of considering the emotions and desires of everyone involved.
