Kathleen Jennings recommends
The Briar Book of the Dead (2024)
A G Slatter
"A legend-netted fable of enchantment, The Briar Book of the Dead is decadent with jealousies, voluptuous with duty, upholstered with love and death. Slatter's world is warm and vicious, soft with forgotten crimes and protected by rites and duties. But while its boundaries are marked with ink and blood and fire, a cold wind curls in from beyond."
Saint Death's Daughter (2022)
(Saint Death, book 1)
C S E Cooney
"If you like Trudi Canavan, Laurie Marks, Mieville-but-kindly, Tansy Rayner Roberts, Pratchett at his gentlest & gravest, and a dash of Ellen Kushner's Tremontaine, and can imagine all these coexisting, then you begin to catch at the atmosphere of Saint Death's Daughter."
