Liz Williams recommends
thumb
The Splendid City (2022)
Karen Heuler
"A thoroughly original and quirky novel. You'll find witches, cats, animatronic politicians and much more besides - plus sinister undertones combined with laugh-out-loud surrealism."
thumb
Hidden Sun (2018)
(Shadowlands Duology, book 1)
Jaine Fenn
"Exciting...complex and unusual."
thumb
The Teen, the Witch and the Thief (2016)
(Ted Gorse, book 1)
Ben Jeapes
"An exciting and funny magical story, heads above most of the competition!."
