John Chu recommends
Obstetrix (2026)
Naomi Kritzer
"Unflinching and utterly empathetic. It is a taut exploration of the guises of evil, who collaborates with it, and the necessity of a sustained, indefatigable fight against it."
The Tyrant Baru Cormorant (2020)
(Masquerade , book 3)
Seth Dickinson
"A beautiful, perfectly formed crystal of a novel."
Empress of Forever (2019)
Max Gladstone
"A breakneck epic that explores a wildly, boldly imagined universe, filled with awe and wonder."
