Holly Black recommends
The Naming Song (2024)
Jedediah Berry
"At the heart of this brilliant, thrilling adventure is an exploration of the power of words to transform the way we see ourselves, our history, and our possible futures. The Naming Song understands the fundamental magic of language, and breathes that magic onto every page."
Navola (2024)
Paolo Bacigalupi
"Steeped in poison, betrayal, and debauchery, reading Navola is like slipping into a luxurious bath full of blood."
Long Live Evil (2024)
(Time of Iron, book 1)
Sarah Rees Brennan
"Brennan's brilliant Long Live Evil harnesses clever banter, delightful turns of phrase, and epic backdrops in the service of exploring the nature of stories and the freedom that comes with embracing being named a villain - and maybe actually becoming one. Most of all, it introduces us to Rae, who uses her quick-thinking, loyalty, and ferocity to sidestep (and do the occasional musical number around) doom."
