Wesley Chu recommends
Strange Beasts (2024)
(Strange Beasts, book 1)
Susan J Morris
"Strange Beasts offers us fantastic and fresh new stories about old monsters and legends. Morris displays exceptional skill with her prose and storytelling as she leads readers through the dark and atmospheric underbelly of gothic Victorian Paris. Sam and Hel are a great team-up, and will make you want to know what happens next well after you reach the last page. It's going to be a terrible crime to have to wait for the sequel!"
The Tainted Cup (2024)
(Shadow of the Leviathan, book 1)
Robert Jackson Bennett
"Part Sherlock Holmes murder mystery, part Through the Looking-Glass, The Tainted Cup is one of the wildest, most original stories I've ever had the privilege to explore. I am in awe of Bennett's creativity, the intricate plotting, and this immersive world filled with mushroom air conditioners, killer trees, and giant leviathans that stretch the imagination. I loved every second of it. This is a book that has planted roots in my head for the rest of my life."
The King-Killing Queen (2023)
(King-Killing Queen, book 1)
Shawn Speakman
"The King-Killing Queen is a breathless thrill ride helmed by an unrelenting heroine... classic high fantasy at its best."
