Her Pretty Knight (Sapphic Lady Knights, #1)
Recommended by
Mage
A enjoyable read, I found myself really invested in the relationship between Della and Galeon, especially through the last few chapters. Its just that during the middle of the book one event can feel disconnected to another, maybe that's just me though.

Bridges of Smoke (Achilles Protocol, #1)

I mean, I gotta recommend my own book, right?
Cure: Book One in the Strandville Zombie Series
Recommended by
weaver
I admit this was my first time reading a zombie book. The zombie genre hasn't always been my favorite in film and television, so I wasn't keen on reading a zombie book. But Frisch has a medical background and that made this book very interesting, as it revolved around a hospital. Very enjoyable, my only regret was that I didn't immediately read the next book so now I have to re-read it. :)
The Healers' Road
Recommended by
kevin
I absolutely loved this book!
Recommended in @paracactus' 'Slice-of-Life Fantasy' list, it provides a place to go, a world to just sit in and enjoy.
Like the contemplative and cozy parts of The Steerswoman series, Jaran, and The Guy of Gisborne books, you simply get lost in the subtly portrayed world.
A fantasy setting without the usual tropes or stereotypes. A fantasy book to love.
Phoresis
Recommended by
sohkamyung
An interesting story of discovery and survival set in a system where two small worlds circle each other and they orbit a sun together. The worlds are cold and covered by ice but the tidal forces between the worlds ensure their interiors are heated and some heat breaks through the ice in the form of geysers, bringing with it life giving chemicals and material.
The Steerswoman
Recommended by
kevin
An amazing fantasy tale that slowly unfolds to reveal a surprising twist.
At first, all seems familiar. You recognise the world of wizards and the ranger-like steerswomen. But, just like the steerswomen themselves, the more you learn, the more sense you begin to make of this world. Something isn't quite right.
Rosemary Kirstein has me hooked! I've already started the next book in the series.
Dichronauts
Recommended by
sohkamyung
Another interesting Hard SF read by Egan. It's not as mind-bending or physics-bending as his "Orthogonal" series but contains intriguing ideas and characters. In contrast to his previous books where the characters slowly learn (and educate the reader about) the physics of their environment, here they are already well versed in the strange (to us) geometry of their universe and its consequences.
The Silent Places
Recommended by
kevin
This book is so tense it gave me chest pains!
A thrilling ride, with chapters counting down towards an approaching storm.
It reads quickly, and refuses to ease up, bringing you to surprising but cathartic conclusion.
If you liked Olivia Wilde in the film A Vigilante, you'll LOVE Imogen in The Silent Place.
My first Skyla Dawn Cameron book, but definitely not my last!
The Fisherman
Recommended by
kevin
Yes, The Fisherman is a little Lovecraftian, with its ancient gods, cultists, and watery... things. But it has much more going for it. The Fisherman is a work of beauty that Lovecraft never came close to.
You grieve with Abe as he tries to pick up the pieces. You worry about what Dan will do... and when he'll break. You wonder which story you are actually reading and who is telling it.
