Julie Leong recommends
The Outcast Mage (2025)
(Shattered Lands , book 1)
Annabel Campbell
"With stakes as high as the glittering glass towers of Amoria, The Outcast Mage is a strong, pathos-filled start to an epic new fantasy series. Fans of political maneuvering, powerful magic, and found family will find much to love."
The Great Library of Tomorrow (2024)
(Tomorrowland, book 1)
Rosalia Aguilar Solace
"Exuberant and inventive, The Great Library of Tomorrow is an epic, worlds-spanning adventure that is too full of heart to have any room for cynicism. A joyous paean to the power of stories."
Sorcery and Small Magics (2024)
(Wildersongs Trilogy, book 1)
Maiga Doocy
"With a vibrantly imagined world and characters that leap off the page, Sorcery and Small Magics positively sparkles with wit and charm. It's a light-hearted tale of friendship, forgiveness, magic and love. Much like Doocy's opposites-attract heroes, Leo and Grimm, this book sings, leaving you spellbound and wanting more."
