Sam Hawke recommends

The Last Hour Between Worlds (2024)
(Echo Archives, book 1)
Melissa Caruso
"A witty, tense and imaginative triumph of a book! I lost many an unplanned hour inhaling The Last Hour Between Worlds. With its compelling magic, reluctant hero trying (and failing) to be on leave, and one increasingly surreal party, this tightly paced story will be a lasting favorite!"
thumb
The Surviving Sky (2023)
(Rages Trilogy, book 1)
Kritika H Rao
"Some books reach right into your brain and give it a good shake, and this expansive science fantasy, with its wildly inventive worldbuilding and characters who feel desperately real, shook mine in the most delicious way. Highly recommended!"

A Strange and Stubborn Endurance (2022)
(Tithenai Chronicles, book 1)
Foz Meadows
"An engrossing political intrigue and romance set in a world that feels complex and lived-in; beautifully realised and a pleasure to read!"
