I read Jo Walton’s Tooth and Claw without knowing anything about the genre. I was about 1/3 of the way through before I was like: wait a minute!! This is Jane Austin but dragons!!!!! So much fun. I should read more in the genre. C. L. Polk’s books were super fun too. Thanks for the recs!!! πŸ’–

I've read about half of the ones you've mentioned, but the most important one is Swordspoint (and the associated Riverside novels). Great summary of the subgenre, thank you!

I've added Swordspoint to my "Read This Year" list. I'm glad you liked the piece, I had fun writing it.
