Liz Williams recommends

The Splendid City (2022)
Karen Heuler
"A thoroughly original and quirky novel. You'll find witches, cats, animatronic politicians and much more besides - plus sinister undertones combined with laugh-out-loud surrealism."

The Teen, the Witch and the Thief (2016)
(Ted Gorse, book 1)
Ben Jeapes
"An exciting and funny magical story, heads above most of the competition!."

Disturbed by Her Song (2010)
Judas Garbah and Esther Garber (Tanith Lee)
"Subtle, sophisticated and elegant stories that show a mistress at the height of her craft."
