ACE Representation in Science Fiction and Fantasy Novels

I love seeing different types of characters in these novels and kind of learning all about them in their backstory. And it has become more empowering too from people who may not have thought they could be authors before. It's something that is personal or more related to them in a more broad way. I am still blown away with how popular and successful Gideon the 9th was this past year. Like 10 years ago, that would not have sold, but it was a bestseller. We're just seeing a lot more positive representation as well because now that people are aware of the community and where to find it.
