Mary Robinette Kowal recommends
Between Two Thorns (2013)
(Split Worlds, book 1)
Emma Newman
"Emma Newman has created a reflection of Bath that reminds one that charming is not safe. Between Two Thorns shows the darkness beneath the glamour of the social Season. Learning to be a young lady has never seemed so dangerous."
Jade City (2017)
(Green Bone Saga, book 1)
Fonda Lee
"How does a book make me giddy and heartbroken at the same time? Jade City delivers intrigue, family drama, and martial arts magic that feels absolutely real."
Murder on Millionaires' Row (2018)
(Rose Gallagher Mystery, book 1)
Erin Lindsey
"A charming mystery of manners. Ghosts, murder, magic, and a heroine who's impulsive but also refreshingly smart about her choices. What's not to love?"
The Midnight Bargain (2020)
C L Polk
"From page one, C. L. Polk displays an elegant mastery of form. The Midnight Bargain is by turns charming and wrenching."
The Conductors (2021)
(Murder and Magic, book 1)
Nicole Glover
"Community dynamics mixed with a magical alternate Reconstruction-era mystery. The Conductors has all the elements I was looking for in a good story."
