Genre Friday: Fantasy (6/3/22)

The start to a new brilliant fantasy series + an epic story where magic is a finite resource + the return to the world of Fractured Fables + a near-future journey about society + the companion novel to the extraordinary MIDDLEGAME = this fantasy spotlight!

DAUGHTER OF REDWINTER by Ed McDonald

“McDonald makes familiar story and character beats come alive with imagination and energy. The result is a superior start to a promising new saga.”–Publishers Weekly, starred review

IN THE SHADOW OF LIGHTNING by Brian McClellan

“[T]his first installment is full of fast-paced action and strong world building, and will leave established fans of McClellan’s work and new readers alike impatient for the next novel. Highly recommended for fans of epic fantasies with large casts or non-medieval world building.”–Booklist, starred review

A MIRROR MENDED by Alix E. Harrow

“Readers who love stories that twists narratives into knots will fall for Harrow’s fractured fairy tale where evil discovers the benefits that come of doing good.”–Library Journal

THE CITY INSIDE by Samit Basu

“Readers will empathize with Joey’s dilemma and get caught up in the minutiae of her life. The novel’s theme, that the truth does not and cannot set anyone free, is as disturbing as it is thought-provoking.”–Library Journal

SEASONAL FEARS by Seanan McGuire

“McGuire’s intricate, dense companion to 2020’s MIDDLEGAME delves ever deeper into the hidden alchemical history of her world, populating it with incarnate concepts and sinister agendas.”–Publishers Weekly
