If you read science fiction and fantasy, you should pick up this book. Every anthology Parisien & Wolfe edit is excellent, and The Mythic Dream is no exception.
Rebecca
It’s tough to be a woman, especially in a superhero world. They tend to be casualties to the storylines of men, and it’s so common there’s a name for it: women in refrigerators. Valente gives these women a voice and the chance to take their stories back and claim their own narrative. It’s brutal, brilliant, and beautiful and even knowing the stories can’t end well, you find yourself hoping maybe this one will be different.
Shana
In a near-future Sherlock Holmes-inspired series, Dr. Janet Watson is dealing with her injuries from the ongoing civil war and also keeping tabs on Sara Holmes' secret agent maneuverings.
Sarah
Kind of like Romeo and Juliet except instead of two teens in fair Verona we have two agents from opposing futures fighting across time and space and also it's gay.
Shana
Cerebral, chilling, queer, and a quick read. Prepare for an immersive experience.

This book will fill the gaping hole in your chest left by Ann Leckie's Imperial Radch series. One of the best science fiction debuts of 2019. Fantastic!
Rebecca
Luna: New Moon is the perfect read for those killing time before the next Pierce Brown release. It's got family-dominated space societies, backstabbing, and a cast of morally complex characters. Am I describing Game of Thrones in space? Guess you better read to find out.

N.K. Jemisin may be the best speculative fiction author writing today. Pick this one up if you've read her others--or if you haven't.
Rebecca
The easiest way to describe this book is as a good and compelling Hamlet retelling (starring a trans character!), but it's so much more than that. It's a murder mystery, a revenge story, and a musing about the power of language and intention, with a wonderfully built mythology and a fascinatingly weird narrator.
Ari
Girl gangs keep order in the remnants of Mega City, and Nalah and her Mal Criadas want to be on top. But when Déesse sends Las Mal Criadas on a mission outside the city, Nalah starts to question the stories she's always believed about her hardscrabble world.
