Jo Walton recommends
On Fragile Waves (2021)
E Lily Yu
"Beautifully written, absorbing, powerful.... This should win awards when it comes out next year. I think Yu is doing some of the most exciting things in genre."
A Memory Called Empire (2019)
(Teixcalaan, book 1)
Arkady Martine
"An elegant and accomplished example of the subgenre of subtle scheming with a background of stars. A delightful read. I couldn't put it down."
