Here are the books I most enjoyed reading in 2023 - a collection of brilliant stories with interesting characters, danger, magic, curses, cleverness and heart.
In no particular order:
Little Thieves
& by Margaret Owen
Painted Devils
Witty and clever books, a cheeky protagonist and a commentary on justice
The Prison Healer by Lynette Noni
Danger at every turn, warm relationships kindling in midst of despair
Skin of the Sea by Natasha Bowen
Beautiful African cultural retelling of The Little Mermaid
A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid
Eerie narrative as writing rivals uncover truth behind a myth
Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross
War-torn love blossoming with aid of magically delivered letters
The Merciful Crow
& by Margaret Owen
The Faithless Hawk
A story about family and loyalty entwined with commentary on equality
A genuinely nice main character learning to be emperor amidst complex political games
The Girl from Everywhere by Heidi Heilig
Urban time-travel story with personal and political stakes
Honorable mention
Ace of Shades by Amanda Foody
Gangs, magic and crime in a grimy regency City of Sin.
