The King Must Die (2025)
Kemi Ashing-Giwa
"Ashing-Giwa demonstrates her master worldbuilding skills in her new dystopian science fantasy, The King Must Die. A stunning, continually surprising novel focused on friendship and the value of resisting autocracy even when it seems hopeless - it's everything I need right now. It's WILL OF THE MANY meets BLOOD OVER BRIGHT HAVEN with the earnestness of Becky Chambers."
Volatile Memory (2025)
(Volatile Memory Duology, book 1)
Seth Haddon
"A dark but tender story about love, vengeance, the masks we wear for ourselves and others, and the never-ending quest for a more perfect sense of self. It's a beautifully intimate story set in the sprawl of space, especially recommended for fans of This is How You Lose the Time War."
The Memory Hunters (2025)
(Consecrated, book 1)
Mia Tsai
"The Memory Hunters is a gorgeous, haunting dystopia that will infect your blood with its hyphae and fruit inside your heart. Tsai is a master at building romantic tension, even as revelations unfold in a cascade of "oh shit, OH SHIT, OH SHIT," amidst a plot as complex as the story's world. The story surfaces deep questions of culture and institutional preservation, and who has the right to remember things. The yearning of Tsai's characters is exquisite, and the worldbuilding rich with detail and meaning. I'll be thinking about this one for a long time."
