Lately it feels like everything I’ve been reading (Priory of the orange tree, the Jasmine throne, city of brass, maddaddam series) have had multiple POVs. Nothing wrong with that, but I have a 10 month old so my reading time is limited and keeping up with each perspective in those small chunks takes a weird amount of energy. So, looking for ONE perspective to follow!
Any suggestions appreciated (fantasy is my usual go-to but scifi and horror creep in), but ideally not by straight cis white dudes! TIA!

You might like Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire. It’s a novella, a long with all of the other books in the series, so it’s only around 200 pages.
It’s been a while since I’ve read it, so I could be wrong, but I think *The Goblin Emperor* is a single POV.
The *Locked Tomb* series by Tamsyn Muir has a single POV per book. It’s necromancers in space, so a mix of scifi/fantasy/horror
The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson is dystopian sci-fi about a queer brown girl whose job is to jump between parallel universes. Single point of view for the whole book.
Slow River by Nicola Griffith is a cyberpunk novel about a queer woman desperately trying to survive her family trying to hunt her down. Very dark. Only one point of view.
Broken Wings by L J Baker is a fantasy romance about an impoverished illegal refugee from an extreme totalitarian country and the wealthy artist she falls in love with. Oh and she’s a fairy and her girlfriend is a dryad. Unusually for a romance, it’s all from a single POV.
All are written by queer women.
