• Best Fantasy & Sci- Fi 2025

  If you’ve been around for a while then you’ll know that fantasy is one of my favourite genres and I’m loving finding more sci-fi recently. The escapism is second to none and the clever political writing is brilliant.

  Competing in the Sunbearer Trials is every Golds dream, but when two Jades are chosen to compete as well, the competition heats up. An enjoyable and pacy read with great rep, set against a beautiful backdrop and lore.

  This is a beautifully deep collection of short stories, spanning the lives of nine woman with different upbringings and different trajectories. Fetto’s writing left me wanting more in such a positive way and I can’t wait for you to read and to see what comes next from her.

  Sara meets Miles and it feels like that for the first time a happy relationship might just be possible, but trauma is never far behind. This is slow and meaningful and truly tender.

  Anuri’s been in the spotlight since she was a child, subjected by her stepmother and has long past had enough of her meddling. Dark and brilliantly composed, Nwabineli is an autobuy author for me.
