Volatile Memory (2025)
(Volatile Memory Duology, book 1)
Seth Haddon
"It can be difficult to find new science fiction that imagines unique and fascinating technology with real human stakes--Volatile Memory wins that prize. Add in a beautiful transhuman love story and a seething revenge plot, and you've got a sharp, tight narrative that had me dying to know what's next."
thumb
The Raven Scholar (2025)
(Eternal Path Trilogy, book 1)
Antonia Hodgson
"Engrossing and unputdownable...my favorite read of the year. A conflagration of court intrigue, religious folktale, and characters with deliciously murky motivations, The Raven Scholar is a pure delight. Fantasy readers will gobble this down and curse the skies that they don't have the sequel yet."
thumb
Metal from Heaven (2024)
August Clarke
"This is industrial fantasy like you've never read before. With prose that drips like honey and burns like a forge, Metal from Heaven is all hungry revenge, human tenderness, and bloody political intrigue. August Clarke does something new here, and I can't wait for more!"
