It’s Genre Friday, and we’re spotlighting some of October’s genre fiction releases with a sci-fi mystery set in space, a sequel filled with betrayals and magicians, and a historical fantasy featuring alien science and the secrets that families keep from each other.
THE SPARE MAN by Mary Robinette Kowal
“Kowal expertly weaves in red herrings and twists right up to the unmasking of the killer, and punctuates the suspense with moments of sparkling wit and the antics of Tesla’s therapy dog, Gimlet. The author’s nuanced portrayal of Tesla’s disabilities and the complexities of the technology that assists her to navigate them is particularly welcome. This is a page-turner.”–Publishers Weekly
THE ATLAS PARADOX by Olivie Blake
“Fantasy fans will not be disappointed by the complex and varied magic system that relies more on solid scientific principals than do other series treading similar ground. Blake has built a unique and interesting dark-academia fantasy full of intrigue and suspense.”–Booklist
WILL DO MAGIC FOR SMALL CHANGE by Andrea Hairston
“The genre blurring and metastorytelling will capture readers’ attention, and they will want to see both threads through to the end.”–Booklist
