Solace Ames’ The Companion Contract (LA Doms #3)
Spectacular, deeply embodied romance. I hope Ames publishes again because this was so damn good.
Micaiah Johnson’s Those Beyond the Wall (Space Between Worlds #2)
Narratively smart and N.K. Jemisin-like in its craftiness. I hope people smarter than me discuss it.
Courtney Milan’s The Earl Who Isn’t (Wedgeford Trials #3)
At last, a romance where the solution is the dissolution of the peerage.
Rebecca Roanhorse’s Mirrored Heavens (Between Earth & Sky #3)
Gimme all the slice-of-life romance between Xiala and Serapio!! Also a Roanhorse romance when??
Valerie Valdes’ Where Peace is Lost
Forever sad this isn’t getting a sequel. One of the most interesting world-building, or rather pacifist-warrior building I’ve seen in awhile.
Jasmine Walls and Teo DuVall’s Brooms
A balm, an antidote of what we can do together when the government seeks to destroy us.
