Cascade Failure (2024)
(Ambit's Run, book 1)
L M Sagas
"Fans of Firefly and Lois McMaster Bujold's brilliant Vorkosigan series, Cascade Failure by L.M. Sagas has you covered. A ragtag crew full of grit, genius, and quirks with weary hearts of gold, finding the mission of their lives in a ship like no other. I loved everything about this book, including stunningly original world-building that ranks among the best I've ever read. Get this one. You'll thank me."
thumb
Dragonfall (2023)
(Dragon Scales, book 1)
L R Lam
"Lam's Dragonfall is a powerful all-new imagining of dragons and humans and the wild magic burning between them, set in a divided world as brilliantly original as it is convincing. With striking, beautiful prose and characters that will own your heart, this book - and those to follow in the trilogy - are must-reads."
thumb
The Stars of Mount Quixx (2023)
(Brindlewatch Quintet, book 1)
S M Beiko
"Beiko's latest novel, The Stars of Mount Quixx, will forever lodge in my heart, alongside the other classics of storytelling magic I've read over the years and will never forget. It has everything I want in a fantasy, from wondrous surprise and reckless awe, to real people you love (and sometimes want to give a stern talking to) who rise to be their best selves. I can't wait to read it again. And I will."
