Hi welcome back to my channel. My name is Kat and today I am giving you 15 book recommendations
starring pansexual main characters. So if you don't know, I myself am pansexual and also one of the
prompts for the Bias Breaker readathon in December is to read a book featuring a pansexual, bisexual,
or aro/ace spectrum main character. So today I'm doing pansexual. There will also be videos
for bisexual and also aro/ace spectrum. Today is all about celebrating pansexual pride.
So without further ado, we're gonna go ahead and get into it. First up is Two Rogues Make a Right
by Cat Sebastian. So this is the third in a series so be wary if you don't like to read out of order.
However, I read this one out of order and it blew me away. I love this book. We are following Will
who has been searching for months for his best friend and he finally finds Martin hiding in an
attic. Martin is chronically ill with a lung disease and he has been wanting to die without
inconveniencing anyone else, which just breaks Will's heart. So he spirits Martin away to the
countryside to help him recuperate in like this quaint pastoral cottage and it's all about them.
Will says that he likes people, so I'm taking that to mean pansexual, but because it's historical they
don't have that word yet. But he likes people, whereas Martin is demisexual. So great
rep here. I loved this book so much. It made me cry and it made me so happy inside. Yeah so I
highly recommend this one. And this is actually the only one on this list that I have read.
I really haven't read that many pansexual books at all so I had a fab time researching this list
because all of these are now in my TBR. Next up are two books by Effie Calvin. So the first one
is The Queen of Ieflaria. So in this world, there is a country where they have a dragon problem and
there's another country where they have people who are trained to basically control the dragons, and
they have an arranged marriage. However when the son who was in the arranged marriage dies, they put
forth their princess instead. So both princesses are in the arranged marriage now and they're both
pansexual, which makes my heart so flippin happy. So Queen of Ieflaria and then also
the third novel in the series, which is The Queen of Rhodia, also follows the same two characters
as well. So number one and number three just sounds amazing. The next book I want to mention
is a recent release, which was out in September. This is Crown Chasers by Rebecca Coffindaffer
and this sounds amazing. So this is set in space where there is a main character named Alyssa
who is trying to outrun her family legacy. She doesn't want to be in the royal family,
like the galactic empire family. However, when the ruler dies, instead of naming her as the successor
(which everyone thought), he instead calls for a crown chase, which is this intergalactic chase
to find this treasure and whoever does gets to be the leader. Now, she never wanted to be,
however, this crown chase means that a whole bunch of bad people are also chasing after it. So
she needs to enter in order to make sure someone shitty doesn't win. And main character is pansexual.
So happy about this one. So next up is The Library of the Unwritten by AJ Hackwith. This one
is following Claire who is the head of Library of the Unwritten. It's basically a space in hell
where unfinished manuscripts go to live out their eternity. However, one day when a hero escapes from
his book, she has to go on an adventure to get him back and bring him back down. And she sets us off
on this adventure with her current assistant Brevity and nervous demon courier Leto. And she
herself is pansexual and I'm here for it. Library, hell, pansexual main character... I've wanted to read
this forever and I really need to get on it. Next up is The First Sister by Linden A Lewis. So it
says First Sister has no name and no voice. As a priestess of the sisterhood, she travels the stars
alongside the soldiers of Earth and Mars, the same ones who own the rights to her body and her soul.
When her former captain abandons her, First Sister's hope for freedom are dashed when she is forced to
stay on her ship with no friends, no power, and a new captain, Saito Ren, whom she knows nothing about.
She is commanded to spy on Captain Ren by the sisterhood, but soon discovers that working
for the war effort is so much harder to do when you're falling in love. This book has so much rep
in it. One of the characters is pan-romantic asexual, but there is also non-binary rep
and bi rep as well. So pan-romantic for this video and yeah it sounds absolutely fabulous.
It reminds me of one of those other books... I think Ancillary Justice (is it?) where the ship
is an entity itself. Next up is Human Enough by ES Yu. This is following an autistic vampire hunter who
is forced to work with a vampire that is helping them catch kind of the bad vampires, I guess, and he
is falling in love. And the main character here is pansexual, so if you're looking for a queer vampire
novel featuring a pansexual main character, this would be absolutely for you. So next up is
Your Heart Will Grow by Chace Verity. This is following Kelpana, who is an international diplomat for the
mermaid people. However, when she insults a bratty prince she is thrown into jail and she
is trying to get out and help her kingdom. [Meanwhile,] her guard is a trans heteroflexible man who is
trying to prove himself. And he wants to be a man of honor, a man of kindness, and a man of fairness,
and he has to decide if he's going to risk his career and his life
for Kelpana the mermaid. And Kelpana is a pansexual female mermaid. So I mean...
this sounds just so amazing. Well we have pansexual rep, mermaids, trans soldier...
I'm here for it. Okay, and then the next one I'm just gonna say is very dark. I mean it's
in the title. This deals basically with mafia assassins so that if that's not your jam
just skip until you see the image change here. So it says Stefano Marino is a made man, a happily
married west coast mafia boss who travels east to await the death of a family patriarch.
All the old hands have gathered, of course sharks will circle when there's blood in the water. But
there's a new hand that draws Stefano's eye. Silvio "The Barracuda" Spadaro is protetto, an heir to
retired consigliere Gianbattista Falchi and a man made in his own right. Among his underworld family,
being gay is a capital crime but the hypersexual and pansexual young killer has never cared much
for rules. The only orders he follows are Batista's, whether on the killing field or on his knees
eagerly submissive at Batista's feet. But Silvio has needs Batista can't fill and he's cast his
black-eyed gaze on Stefano. A fake break-in, an even faker attack, and Silvio is exactly
where he wants to be--strung up at Stefano's mercy, driving the old mafiaso toward urges
he spent his whole life repressing. Yeah so this is obviously like BDSM, super dark, assassins, mafia,
and yeah... so if that's not your jam, no worries. Don't read it. But sounds interesting to me. And now
I'm very sorry for the whiplash, but we're going to switch completely to a book which is uber sweet.
What can I say? I contain multitudes. I like all sorts of books, I like uber-dark and I
like fluffy sweet. So this is Erik the Pink by Matthew J Metzger. So this says Erik has wanted
to be a father for as long as he can remember, but now that the day is finally here, he's terrified.
Surely a ham-fisted viking of a man like Erik shouldn't be allowed to handle things as tiny
and delicate as his new baby girl. But it's not just his daughter that's come into Erik's world.
His partner has finally returned too. After nine months of watching Andreas struggle with the
mental and physical toll of being a man and being pregnant at the same time, the birth of their
daughter is both a beginning and an ending. So I think that it sounds very interesting. It's from a
perspective that I have never read before, where it is someone who identifies as another gender other
than women (female) and being pregnant. And I believe... yeah the main character is pansexual. Next up is
a super exciting rock and roll trilogy featuring pansexual characters. So this is Syncopation by
Anna Zabo. This is following the front man of the band as well as the new drummer who used
to be his high school crush and one of the main characters is pansexual aromantic. Love to see it.
The second one in the series is called Counterpoint also by Anna Zabo, of course. So we
follow the lead guitarist who falls for a computer programmer who identifies as pansexual. Can't wait.
But I would have to say I am most excited for the third one in the series called Reverb, which follows
the base guitarist who is a pansexual woman and when she is dealing with a stalker threat
she is given a bodyguard and the bodyguard is a certified badass ex-army martial arts expert
but he is also a trans man. So when he falls for our lead female there are some very interesting
dynamics and I really want to read this series so bad. It's almost a dream. Like
when I found it, I was like "Every book in the series has a pansexual person in it?
What? How have I had never heard of this before?" So I'm really excited to read it. I cannot even
tell you. Next up is one that I wouldn't probably pick up on its own, but the ratings are so high. So
this is Who'd Have Thought by G Benson. I really think they should redo the cover because the main
reason I didn't want to pick it up is because of the cover. But it's like 4.4 on Goodreads out
of over 2,000 reviews so clearly it's very good. So top neurosurgeon Samantha Thompson needs to
get married fast and is tight-lipped as to why. And with over $200,000 on offer to tie the knot
no questions asked, cash-strapped ER nurse Hayden Perez isn't about to demand answers. The deal
is only for a year of marriage but Hayden's going into it knowing it will be a nightmare.
Sam is complicated, rude, kind of cold, and someone Hayden barely tolerates at work,
let alone wants to marry. The hardest part is that Hayden has to convince everyone around
them that they're madly in love and that racing down the aisle together is all they've ever wanted.
What could possibly go wrong? So yeah it's an arranged marriage type of thing and it
features two women, one of whom is pansexual. And it has super high ratings so please disregard
the cover. Apparently, it's amazing. And the last one on this list is Scorpio Hates Virgo by Anyta Sunday.
This one I found when I was looking up Scorpio recommendations. This happened to
pop up because scorpio is in the title. So this is following two boys who have kind of been nemesis
since childhood. And when one comes back to town to deal with the death of his aunt and
selling her house, he has to kind of confront and interact with his nemesis. Only, you know, Percy
and Callahan obviously they like each other. And one of them is pan and demi so
yeah I'm really looking forward to this and I might put it in my Scorpio mini burst if I have
time. We shall see. But yeah that finishes up the 15 recommendations for pansexual main character
books. Of course, if you have any pansexual specific recommendations, I would love to hear them down
below. If not, I hope you join us for the Bias Breaker Readathon in December. Links are down below.
And without further ado, I'm just going to say bye for now. Hope you're having a fabulous day, bye~
