Barely recognize any of the books or authors there, especially the winners.
I've listened to Travis Baldree narrate Cradle, so I'm probably gonna check out his Legends & Lattes book.
It didn't win, but I read The Scholomance which is listed in the series section. If you're interested in unconventional magic systems then I'd recommend it.
Nettle & Bone was the big winner. Reading the blurb doesn't immediately call out to me. Worth checking out?
T Kingfisher/Ursula Vernon is very good, in a weird fantasy/horror/romance/reimagined fairy tale way. (Depending on the book. One of the romances features severed heads.)
I haven’t read this one, but I’ve read basically all her other stuff apart from the horror, which I’ve noped out from. I’m not sure if this one is more reimagined fairy tale or horror, which is how I made it past release week without reading it.
I've not read "Nettle & Bone" yet - but have read some of T Kingfishers other work, can be quite big on the 'unconventional magic systems' as well (e.g. "A Wizard's Guide To Defensive Baking").
Legends & Latte's is one of my favorite books of the past year. It falls into that Cozy Fantasy genre.
It's very different than the Monk & Robot series but makes me feel a very similar way to those books. Highly recommend. There's a sequel coming out in November called Bookshops & Bonedust. I think it's technically a prequel.
Travis Baldree did amazing with Cradle as well. Going to miss getting new books in that series.
