Kerstin Hall recommends

A Rather Vengeful Accord (2025)
(Rather Vengeful Accord, book 1)
Danielle Knight
"A Rather Vengeful Accord is a delight. Sly, gruesome, and full of wonderfully macabre detail, I can't wait to get my hands on the sequel."
thumb
The Dark We Know (2024)
Wen-Yi Lee
"The Dark We Know is a lyrical mediation on loss and survival, on holding on and letting go, and on growing up in a community that only ever wanted you to be small. Filled with moments of striking beauty, Wen-yi Lee's debut establishes her as a force to be reckoned with."
thumb
A Spindle Splintered (2021)
(Fractured Fables, book 1)
Alix E Harrow
"A Spindle Splintered is a princess story gone rogue. At times sweet and funny, at others bitingly acerbic, this whirlwind tour of fairyland jabs at the old happily-ever-afters -- and asks whether we might want more than a prince and a palace."
