Emily Tesh recommends
Lady Eve's Last Con (2024)
Rebecca Fraimow
"A delightful story about what happens when the billionaire target of your galactic revenge plot has a terrifyingly sexy half-sister. It's got zest, it's got style, it's got society balls, dramatic reversals, incredible outfits, and a beach episode. Fraimow knows exactly what she's doing."
The Stars Undying (2022)
(Empire Without End, book 1)
Emery Robin
"Has the dramatic force of space opera and the lushness of the very best historical fiction. It takes the larger-than-life figures of the ancient world and recasts them against a backdrop of drowned worlds and interstellar empires with extraordinary verve. Gorgeously written, impeccably characterized, and profoundly aware of the way the ghosts of history linger."
Nettle & Bone (2022)
T Kingfisher
"Pure delight. T. Kingfisher uses the bones of fairy tale to create something entirely her own."
