Isabel Cañas recommends
Asunder (2024)
Kerstin Hall
"There is no doubt in my mind that Kerstin Hall is one of the great imaginative minds writing fantasy today-Asunder is a masterful novel, one that is both intimately character-focused and layered with intrigue, eldritch horrors, and high-octane action. It is immersive, inventive, and intensely unputdownable. I was spellbound from the first pages."
To Gaze Upon Wicked Gods (2024)
(Gods Beyond the Skies, book 1)
Molly X Chang
"As ambitious as it is heartfelt, To Gaze Upon Wicked Gods cements Molly X. Chang as an explosive new talent in fantasy. I was swept away by this debut and eagerly await her next book."
Murder Road (2024)
Simone St James
"Murder Road serves up the kind of tension that sends chills racing over your skin as you furiously turn the pages, desperate to uncover the secrets of Coldlake Falls. An exhilarating, haunting ride from start to finish."
