Isabel Cañas recommends
The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy (2025)
(Dearly Beloathed, book 1)
Brigitte Knightley
"As an avid fan of Brigitte Knightley's writing, I had high expectations for The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy, and Knightley blew them out of the water. I tore through the novel in a day. Everything that I love about her writing is here - from banter that springs off the page and leaves me sniggering to myself to tender, slow-burn romantic tension - but then, incredibly, she ups the ante. This debut boasts gorgeously-written, vivid settings, a unique magic system and fresh fantasy world, razor-sharp wit, and graceful characterization. In short, Knightley's debut is nothing short of irresistible itself."
Asunder (2024)
Kerstin Hall
"There is no doubt in my mind that Kerstin Hall is one of the great imaginative minds writing fantasy today-Asunder is a masterful novel, one that is both intimately character-focused and layered with intrigue, eldritch horrors, and high-octane action. It is immersive, inventive, and intensely unputdownable. I was spellbound from the first pages."
To Gaze Upon Wicked Gods (2024)
(Gods Beyond the Skies, book 1)
Molly X Chang
"As ambitious as it is heartfelt, To Gaze Upon Wicked Gods cements Molly X. Chang as an explosive new talent in fantasy. I was swept away by this debut and eagerly await her next book."
