Emma Törzs recommends

The River Has Roots (2025)
Amal El-Mohtar
"The River Has Roots is a beautiful, musical, and loving story, perfectly rendered in El-Mohtar's beautiful, musical, and loving prose. This novella has all the dark comforts of an old tale and all the light vigors of a new classic, and will inspire you to raise your voice in song with those you love."

The Warm Hands of Ghosts (2024)
Katherine Arden
"From the brutal trenches of World War I comes a vivid story of grief and love that feels not only timeless, but timely. This exquisite novel took me over like a haunting, and Arden's eerie, exacting prose followed me long after I closed the cover. It's one of the best historical fantasies I've ever read."
