Tamsyn Muir recommends

Now, Conjurers (2024)
(Now, Conjurers, book 1)
Freddie Kolsch
"This book is CHARM ITSELF. It's a high-octane high-camp horror funfair that is so smart and so edgy and funny and heartfelt and loving that I think teens who love it now will still pull it off the shelf when they are 40. Now, Conjurers is an evening with a movie from Blockbuster that's rated slightly too high for you to have legally rented it and the biggest, trashiest bag of popcorn, staying up until 3 AM with your friends and then having really savage nightmares afterwards for a week."

Exordia (2024)
Seth Dickinson
"Magnificent. . . . A science fiction action juggernaut."

The Archive Undying (2023)
(Downworld Sequence, book 1)
Emma Mieko Candon
"Giant robots stomp around a lush and tactile world of ruined cities and unknowable AI gods, which is all one could ever need."
