Victoria Aveyard recommends

The Wolves of War (2026)
(Wisdom of Wolves, book 1)
John Gwynne
"A shivering epic of war and magic told behind the pages of the past, with a remarkable young heroine at its beating heart. John Gwynne artfully weaves myth and history to capture a reader from the very first sentence."

Defy the Dusk (2026)
(Sundering Duet , book 1)
Danielle L Jensen
"Propulsive and unstoppable, Defy the Dusk is a furious machine of a book, with a tremendous heart at its core. I would follow Lirien, Vox, and the crew anywhere. All aboard Duskchaser."

Heir (2024)
(Heir , book 1)
Sabaa Tahir
"In a triumphant return to her glorious world, Sabaa Tahir blazes a new trail. I was entranced by the propulsive storytelling and deeply-drawn world of Heir, alongside brilliant new heroes and a few familiar faces. Brilliance and darkness abounds as we journey across seas, jungles, deserts, and the desperation of the human heart. This will be a delight for fantasy fans of all ages, and a battle cry to everyone trying to make a difference in their own lives."

Bloodwitch (2019)
(Witchlands, book 3)
Susan Dennard
"Worldbuilding after my own heart. It's so good it's intimidating."

The Priory of the Orange Tree (2019)
(Roots of Chaos, book 1)
Samantha Shannon
"The Priory of the Orange Tree is a brilliant, daring, and devastating jewel. Samantha Shannon has crafted an incredible world full of depth and danger, with characters I would follow to the ends of the earth. It was a privilege to read, and I'm in awe of her talent. I can't wait for the rest of the world to experience this book."

The Cruel Prince (2018)
(Folk of the Air, book 1)
Holly Black
"I require book two immediately. Holly Black is the Faerie Queen."

Nemesis (2017)
(Project Nemesis, book 1)
Brendan Reichs
"Addictive as a puzzle, moving with breakneck speed, Nemesis had me guessing until the very end. Try to predict what Nemesis is. I dare you."

A Shadow Bright and Burning (2016)
(Kingdom On Fire, book 1)
Jessica Cluess
"Vivid characters, terrifying monsters, and world building as deep and dark as the ocean."

Replica (2016)
(Replica , book 1)
Lauren Oliver
"Electric, heartbreaking, pulse-pounding, and timely, REPLICA is a riveting two-for-one. Two complex heroines, two puzzling mysteries, two weaving adventures, all in one astounding novel."

The Darkest Corners (2016)
Kara Thomas
"Gripping from start to finish, The Darkest Corners took me into an underbelly I didn't know existed, with twists that left me shocked and racing forward to get to the end."

Passenger (2016)
(Passenger, book 1)
Alexandra Bracken
"I was truly transported through this novel, a willing passenger pulled through its pages alongside riveting, romantic characters and an immense world with no end in sight. Fans of Outlander will see so much of Claire in Etta, who holds a smart and headstrong lens to history. I can't wait to voyage through the next volume."

Illuminae (2015)
(Illuminae Files, book 1)
Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
"Not only is ILLUMINAE a twisting, heart-pounding story moving at the speed of light, but it is a truly beautiful novel that redefines the form. I have never read anything like it. And it certainly filled the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA shaped hole in my heart."
