Brian Staveley recommends
The Demon Star (2026)
Jesse Aragon
"The Demon Star is my favorite kind of fantasy, one filled with mystery, eldritch civilizations, tormented protagonists, and plot twists that just keep coming. Aragon is a massively ambitious writer - this book is stuffed with enough material for two or three novels, but somehow she yokes it all together for one unrelenting, unputdownable story."
The Runes of Engagement (2024)
Tobias S Buckell and Dave Klecha
"A story stitched from the greatest late-night dorm room debates. Who would win: Black Hawks versus dragons? Marines versus trolls? All the magic of Tolkien arrayed against the 21st-century American war machine?"
Ash and Bones (2020)
(City of Sacrifice, book 2)
Michael R Fletcher
"The fertile soil of Mesamerican mythology, warped through the lens of Fletcher's hyperkinetic imagination, yeilds hypnotic, terrifying results."
