C E Murphy recommends

Coyote Run (2025)
(Amazing Tales of Antifascist Action, book 1)
Lilith Saintcrow
"Offensively good and immensely satisfying. Lilith Saintcrow packs more worldbuilding into single sentences than most people manage in entire books. A compelling mix of brutality and compassion, with just a twist of gallows humor as the finishing touch: exactly what one expects from Saintcrow, who never disappoints."

Sword (2023)
(Chalice War, book 3)
David B Coe
"An engaging, emotional read that carves out a space of its own in reinterpretations of Irish mythology. I look forward to more!."
