Martha Wells, City of Bones. This woman can world-build; she is, like, the champion world-builder of all. I'm getting through her backlist while awaiting the Murderbot novel.
Kenneth Oppel, Inkling: love everything about this book!
Lois McMaster Bujold, Sharing Knife series. Enjoyed the new novella so much I had to go back to the world. Her writing kills me sometimes, it's so wonderful.William Alexander, Ghoulish Song and Goblin Secrets: intriguing storylines in an inventive world. Not as funny as Ambassador and Nomad but really likeable characters.
Rebecca Roanhorse, Trail of Lightning: pretty gory so far, but I like the characters and the world.
Danielle L. Jensen, Dark Shores: a Roman-like empire and an interesting sea-faring people (book blurb says pirates but they're really not); telepathic sea-monsters and magic transportation that sounds like wormholes. Pretty cool.Also out from the library:
Ann Leckie, The Raven Tower. Forcing myself to finish all the above before I start this one!
Victoria Schwab, City of Ghosts
Meg Medina, Merci Suárez Changes Gears
G. Willow Wilson, The Bird King
Inkling has been on my list for a while. I need to get to it. The others aren't the sort of thing I read, but thanks for the post.
