Megan Whalen Turner recommends
Monster, Monarch, Maiden (2026)
Rae Carson
"Every Rae Carson book reminds me what it is to be young and brave and standing on the edge of the world. She never disappoints."
The Swan's Daughter (2026)
Roshani Chokshi
"Roshani never disappoints. The Swan's Daughter is a confection, layers of airy delight and layers of soul nourishing truth. Loving someone is never not dangerous. Loving someone is always a leap of faith."
Amber & Clay (2021)
Laura Amy Schlitz
"Amber and Clay works the best kind of book magic, bringing to life gods and ghosts and philosophers. It is a rare treat."
