Claire Winn recommends
The Legend Liminal (2025)
Ren Hutchings
"The Legend Liminal is an ambitiously original novella about the strength of familial bonds in all the strangest, coldest corners of spacetime, and the subtle defiance of simply existing in an uncertain world. Hutchings' signature wit and twisty sci-fi concepts add kaleidoscopic depth to this standout story."
The Merciless King of Moore High (2024)
(Crosstown Kingdoms, book 1)
Lily Sparks
"The Merciless King of Moore High merges the cutthroat fantasy politics of The Cruel Prince with the post-apocalyptic high school setting of Netflix's Daybreak. Sparks lays out twist after twist like a winning hand of cards, turning the story on its head every time you think you've figured it out. Breathlessly tense, unpredictable, and a heck of a lot of fun."
Mindwalker (2022)
Kate Dylan
"Ridiculously thrilling. Mindwalker is an explosion of everything I love in sci-fi: breakneck pacing, badass characters, stunning twists, and a teched-out world. Buckle up and hang on."
