Snake-Eater by T Kingfisher
Hugo and Nebula Award winner Kingfisher (Hemlock & Silver) provides all the chills, thrills, and laughs she’s known for in this dextrous dark fantasy. In heroine Selena’s “last thrash toward self-preservation,” she takes her dog and flees her emotionally abusive fiancé, Walter, for her aunt Amelia’s house in the tiny Western town of Quartz Creek, only to find that Amelia died a year ago.
The King Must Die
Ashing-Giwa (A Splinter in the Sky) wows in this brilliantly immersive novel set 500 years after humanity left an overpopulated Earth to begin again on Newearth, an exodus enabled by the help of mysterious aliens known as the Makers. Despite the new lease on life offered by this opportunity, impatient settlers recklessly sped up the terraforming process, leading to dire environmental consequences felt in the present day.
To Clutch a Razor
In bestseller Roth’s equally emotional and action-packed second Curse Bearer fantasy (after When Among Crows), series hero Dymitr contends with the consequences of his actions. Once a monster-hunting Knight of the Holy Order, Dymitr doomed himself to life as a zmora, a creature that feeds on human fear, when he gave up his prized bone sword to Baba Jaga. Baba Jaga agrees to give back Dymitr’s sword, but only if he completes a horrifying task: killing 33 Holy Order knights, his own kin.
