Read The Bookshop Below, by Georgia Summers, her follow up (but not sequel to) City of Stardust. That was probably my favourite book of last year and this lives up to it. It pulls off the same exact trick- all the charm and whimsy of the fairytale types, your Catherynne Valente and Erin Morgenstein types, but seamlessly crossed with a fast-paced espionage thriller. Guess that's her niche, and she's nailed it.


Before that I read Slow Gods by Claire North, her first go at space opera. Also very good, Somewhat unusual lead protagonist.
