Emily Tesh recommends
Lord of Secrets (2019)
(Empty Gods, book 1)
Breanna Teintze
"Lord of Secrets is a fast-paced necromantic adventure. The characters are sharp, the dialogue is funny - and wow, Teintze can really write a monster! From the sadistic priest to the power-crazed wizard, from the delicate horrifying brilliance of her undead creations to the lurking, dreadful, beautiful monster at the heart of an ancient buried temple, I was alarmed and delighted at every turn."
The Unspoken Name (2020)
(Serpent Gates, book 1)
A K Larkwood
"The Unspoken Name has everything – spine-tingling prose, gorgeous worldbuilding, powerful older women, found family (but it's terrible), giant snakes, ancient tombs, dead gods, and true love. It's fantastic. I read it in one sitting."
Winter's Orbit (2021)
Everina Maxwell
"Everina Maxwell is brilliant at creating atmosphere and drama. Her light touch and considering eye are applied thoughtfully, warmly, and yet without mercy to the failures of an interstellar bureaucracy and the people who both make those failures happen; to the difficulties of diplomatic ties between planets that rely on personal ties between human beings; to the ways people try to get what they want from each other, and the ways they fail to understand each other. The combination of sweeping space opera backdrop and real human drama is as compelling as it comes."
A Marvellous Light (2021)
(Last Binding, book 1)
Freya Marske
"Romantic in the best way, funny, sharp, sexy, fantastical. Prepare to fall in love with the gorgeous Edwardian setting, the sizzling character dynamics, and the murderous enchanted hedge maze."
Nettle & Bone (2022)
T Kingfisher
"Pure delight. T. Kingfisher uses the bones of fairy tale to create something entirely her own."
