I forget who recommended the Alamaxa series here, by Hadeer Elsbai. I'm reading the first book, The daughters of Izdihar and enjoying it a lot, so thanks, whoever it was. It's a fantasy series set in something like an analogue to 19th century India or perhaps the Levant, mixing fantastic themes on magic with social concerns such as women's emancipation.
