Aliette de Bodard recommends
Congress of Secrets (2016)
Stephanie Burgis
"A sumptuous and romantic tale of two ordinary people caught at the confluence of history, politics, and dark alchemy, Congress of Secrets will have you turning pages late at night."
Rosewater (2017)
(Wormwood Trilogy, book 1)
Tade Thompson
"One of the most imaginative alien invasion scenarios I have come across..."
Under the Pendulum Sun (2017)
(Fae , book 1)
Jeannette Ng
"An evocative, claustrophobic Gothic novel with strikingly creepy set-pieces, which repeatedly dislocates its reader's and characters' worldview in a forceful examination of faith and the power of stories."
Jade City (2017)
(Green Bone Saga, book 1)
Fonda Lee
"An atmospheric, gritty noir tale of family loyalties, martial arts and power struggles in a city that feels so real it becomes a character in its own right. Jade City is epic drama writ large."
