The Incandescent (2025) Emily Tesh "A must-read; a magical, sophisticated and razor-sharp story of education and power."
Behooved (2025) M Stevenson "Wildly fun and completely charming, this story hits all the high notes of humor, sincerity, and a beautiful romance."
When the Tides Held the Moon (2025) Venessa Vida Kelley "When the Tides Held the Moon made me fall in love with 1920s New York, with the scrappy circus, and with the beautiful central relationship at its heart. Gorgeously compelling and romantic right up to the last page."
Long Live Evil (2024) (Time of Iron, book 1) Sarah Rees Brennan "A wild joyride . . . surprisingly poignant but also made me laugh until people looked at me on the train."
Lady Eve's Last Con (2024) Rebecca Fraimow "Wildly fun and incredibly romantic, all the glitter of the Jazz Age and the brilliance of space opera in one story."
The Stars Undying (2022) (Empire Without End, book 1) Emery Robin "A glittering triumph of a book that weaves together history and tragedy into a star-spanning epic. I fell into this book and didn't come out for a long time."
A Strange and Stubborn Endurance (2022) (Tithenai Chronicles, book 1) Foz Meadows "A complete joy to read. From the love story, to the slow healing of the main character, to the intricate mystery of the plot, Meadows has constructed a world to get lost in and this is a book to savour."
Sweep of Stars (2022) (Astra Black, book 1) Maurice Broaddus "A fascinating utopia-building saga that balances exuberant optimism with a sharp eye to harsher reality."
A Marvellous Light (2021) (Last Binding, book 1) Freya Marske "A completely enchanting story that sweeps you into a world of art and romance. Marske is an extraordinary talent who writes compelling characters, entertainingly awful families, and love stories like nobody else."
