The Water Outlaws (2023)
S L Huang
"Burning Roses by S. L. Huang is a beautiful, deeply affecting novella that braids Western fairy-tale traditions with Chinese mythology in a way calculated to mash my every emotional button."

Saint Death's Daughter (2022)
(Saint Death, book 1)
C S E Cooney
"Saint Death's Daughter is a tumultuous, swaggering, cackling story, a gorgeous citrus orchard with bones for roots. Miscellaneous Stones' journey into adulthood and power, sorting knowledge from wisdom and vengeance from justice, has an ocean's breadth and depth, its storms and sparkles and salt. Soaring with love and absolutely fizzing with tenderness and joy--I have never read anything so utterly alive."
thumb
Last Exit (2022)
Max Gladstone
"Last Exit is Max Gladstone's best work yet, a novel carved by hand out of salt and rock and bone, a road broken clean through a dying country's heart. This is what the Great American Novel wishes it could be: honest, furious, in love."
