Notes
- From the series record (Or What You Will): Standalone novel; a metafictional narrative told by an aging author's imaginary companion/muse, moving between the invented Shakespeare-adjacent city of Thalia and real-world Florence. Jo Walton's 3rd, unrelated universe in this canon, alongside Tooth and Claw (a Victorian pastiche cast with dragons) and Among Others (contemporary-set fantasy in 1970s Wales); confirmed to share no characters, setting, or continuity with either.
