Shveta Thakrar recommends
A Market of Dreams and Destiny (2023)
Trip Galey
"If, like me, you have ever longed to nibble on forbidden fruit, if you have ever wished to enter into your own foolish faerie bargain, then read this book. Deliciously written and drenched in imagination, A Market of Dreams and Destiny builds on the wicked allure of Christina Rossetti's Goblin Market while examining what happens in a world when literally everything can be bottled and sold for the right price."
Night of the Raven, Dawn of the Dove (2022)
Rati Mehrotra
"Night of the Raven, Dawn of the Dove is the high fantasy novel I've been hungering for. An exciting, richly drawn world grounded in ancient Indian lore and tradition? Multifaceted monsters both human and otherwise? A sword-wielding heroine who must discard everyone else's stories in order to find her own? Um, yes, please! Read this book."
Our Crooked Hearts (2022)
Melissa Albert
"A dark, searing force burns at the core of Our Crooked Hearts, one that circles the reader as subtly, as inevitably as a hunter closing in on a rabbit before the kill. Deftly melding intoxicating witchcraft with the equally potent spell of trauma handed down from mother to daughter, Melissa Albert examines how far love and friendship can be twisted before they corrode into something else-and, in the aftermath, what it truly means to claim one's power. An ominous and irresistibly compelling read."
