One of our favorite things to do is look through new releases and point to things and say โooooooo.โ Here are a few โoooooooโ picks in SFF being published this month.
Dominionย by Jean Kwok (G.P. Putnamโs Sons, July 14)
Literary sensation Jean Kwok is kicking off her first trilogy with this Chinese-inspired romantasy! Ribbon dancer Rubi Morningtail is an Azure refugee in the Dominion of the Silver Tyger with no memories and a magical talent she must keep hidden. But when she wounds a battle tyger, she is forced into the Bonding, a trial between tygers and riders, led by the fearsome mage Blake Axefire.
Habits of the Seaย by Shea Ernshaw (Atria Books, July 7)
As a young girl, Ellie Millsย encountered a floating island in the ocean that magically disappeared the next day, leaving her to question whether she imagined the whole thing. But 20 years later, the island reappears, and Ellie discovers its only inhabitant hasnโt aged since their last encounter. Is what Ellie sees really happening, and what does it mean? (Sing it with me now: Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?)
The Memory Bookshopย by Song Yu-jeong, translated by Shanna Tan (William Morrow Paperbacks, July 7)
Magical establishments have been a hot subject in novels for a few years now, but nothing is better than a magical bookshop, amirite? In this Korean bestseller, the Memory Bookshop appears to those who need it most, its shelves filled with books of their own memories. Patrons can go back three chapters in their life to correct past mistakesโฆbut they must give up time in their future as payment.
Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson (Tor Books, July 28)*
Sandersonโs standalone novel set in the Cosmere universe, Warbreaker, gets a new paperback release. Each person born in the world of Warbreaker has the ability to awaken objects (even corpses). But this power can also be bought and sold. I am sure it all goes fine.
Many more sci-fi/fantasy July releases for you to consider if you just canโt get enough.
