Alix E Harrow recommends
A Study in Drowning (2023)Ava Reid"A Study in Drowning is everything: a dark fairytale, a tender romance, a haunting historical mystery, and a quietly furious tribute to the people whose stories have been stolen from them. I absolutely loved it."The Navigating Fox (2023)Christopher Rowe"The Navigating Fox is something only Christopher Rowe could deliver: a twisty New Weird noir mystery that follows a bad priest, a pair of mapmaking raccoons, a bison queen, and a very clever fox. There's nothing like it; you have to read it." Some Desperate Glory (2023)Emily Tesh"A profoundly humane and brilliantly constructed space opera that will have you cheering, swearing, laughing, and ugly-crying. It's perfect." Feed Them Silence (2023)Lee Mandelo"Feed Them Silence is a toxic love story with the world we're killing, delivered in Mandelo's visceral, melancholic prose. You'll want to put it down, but you won't." The Family Fortuna (2023)Lindsay Eagar"Full of gorgeous monsters and fallen angels, rich language and deep longing, The Family Fortuna is a feast of a book. I swallowed it whole." The Magician's Daughter (2023)H G Parry"The Magician's Daughter is that most rare and precious thing: a brand-new classic, both wholly original and wonderfully nostalgic. It's an absolute treasure." The Last Dreamwalker (2022)Rita Woods"A beautiful and compelling book about the histories we hide and the places we forget. It's about buried truths and dreams too long-deferred, and the hope that comes after." Siren Queen (2022)Nghi Vo"Searing and seductive, Siren Queen is the kind of book that leaves you wrecked on its shores. When I look up at the stars, I'll think of Luli." The Hacienda (2022)Isabel Cañas"A haunted history, a gory gothic, a forbidden romance. This book kept me up at night, and it was worth every second of lost sleep." Spear (2022)Nicola Griffith"If Le Guin wrote a Camelot story, I imagine it would feel like Spear: humane, intelligent, and deeply beautiful. It's a new story with very old bones, a strange place that feels like home. It's exactly what I needed." Nettle & Bone (2022)T Kingfisher"Nettle & Bone is what happens when all the overlooked bit players of classic fantasy somehow wind up on the main quest. It's funny, frightening, and full of heart; I loved it." Where I Can't Follow (2022)Ashley Blooms"Haunting and hopeful, a hard story full of shocking warmth and unexpected beauty. The little doors of Blackdamp are the kind of make-believe that feels true, a magic so vivid it feels more like a memory than a work of fiction." A Marvellous Light (2021)(Last Binding, book 1)Freya Marske"Mystery! Magic! Murder! Long looks full of yearning! This book is a confection, both marvelous and light." The Jasmine Throne (2021)(Burning Kingdoms, book 1)Tasha Suri"An intimate, complex, magical study of empire and the people caught in its bloody teeth. I loved it." For the Wolf (2021)(Wilderwood, book 1)Hannah Whitten"Atmospheric, folkloric, and half-familiar. If you ever wished Beauty and the Beast had more eldritch forest monsters and political machinations, this is the romance for you." A Master of Djinn (2021)(Dead Djinn Universe, book 1)P Djèlí Clark"A Master of Djinn is everything you might expect from Clark: cinematic action, a radical reimagining of real history, and magic on every page. I loved it." The Midnight Bargain (2020)C L Polk"Smart, sexy, and sincere, The Midnight Bargain is an alter-Regency romance with fantastical magic and very real teeth." Flyaway (2020)Kathleen Jennings"hirley Jackson Down Under: a brooding, bruising fairy tale about blood and history and sharp-toothed things waiting in the woods. I loved it." The Unspoken Name (2020)(Serpent Gates, book 1)A K Larkwood"Takes all the tropes of fantasy – orcs and epic quests, dead gods and undead souls, daring rescues and last-second escapes – and spins them into something wild and new. A dizzy, delicious debut." Unnatural Magic (2019)(Unnatural Magic, book 1)C M Waggoner"I didn't think you could fit so many things I loved into one book--tough-talking lady-trolls and cowardly captains, true love and found families, Holmesian hijinks and gender politics--but C.M. Waggoner made it look easy. Unnatural Magic is a raucous, indulgent delight." Visitors also looked at these authors
