Eliza Chan recommends

The Rainshadow Orphans (2026)
(Rainshadow Orphans Trilogy, book 1)
Naomi Ishiguro
"A breathtaking adventure set in an immersive cityscape like no other. The Rainshadow Orphans has a wonderful cast reminiscent of Avatar: The Last Airbender, and a message of hope that made my diaspora heart soar."

The Girl with a Thousand Faces (2026)
Sunyi Dean
"The Girl with a Thousand Faces will tear out your heart and heal it in the same breath. Sunyi Dean's hauntingly unique ghost story refuses to be pinned down. Combining the very real horrors of Hong Kong's occupation with one family's female rage and trauma, the story twists and turns with as many faces as the eponymous girl herself."

Aicha (2026)
Soraya Bouazzaoui
"Aicha is a sharpened blade, swinging between the celebration of love in all its forms and unbridled anger. A ferocious debut."
