Notes

  • From the series record (Imaro): Founding work of the 'Sword and Soul' subgenre: African-inspired heroic fantasy created explicitly as an alternative to the genre's default pseudo-medieval-European settings. No award wins or nominations could be independently corroborated for this series; it is admitted on documented genre-historical significance (the first African-diaspora sword-and-sorcery hero in the genre, widely cited as founding a subgenre later authors built on) rather than an award record.
