Introduction

I know I don’t usually send out newsletters back to back, but I wanted to get these out before January ends!

Today we’re going to look at the 2025 releases in SFF I’m most excited about. To see my full 2025 TBR (full-ish, anyway), check out my Goodreads list. Listed below are the highlights. Next week we’ll do horror!

The 2025 releases

Fantasy

The Ashfire King - Chelsea Abdullah

I loved Chelsea’s debut about a thief and prince in an Arabian fantasy world, it was so much fun, and I’m excited to get this beautiful sequel.

MK Lobb stole my heart with her YA Seven Faceless Saints. I can’t wait to see what she does with this adult heist fantasy.

A commoner invokes a powerful spirit that could end a centuries’-long war.

Get it

Grave Empire - Richard Swan

In an empire where magic is outlawed, a lowly ambassador tries to save the world.

The Listeners - Maggie Stiefvater

I’m stoked for Maggie’s adult debut about magical people fighting Nazis.

The River Has Roots - Amal El-Mohtar

You don’t have to be Bigolas Dickolas Wolfwood to want this story of two sisters and the land of Faerie.

Get it

The Isle in the Silver Sea - Tasha Suri

I loved The Jasmine Throne. Can’t wait to see what Tasha does with the Green Knight.

Get it

I’m a hardcore Red Rising fan. I can’t wait to see what Darrow and Mustang and co. are up to in their latest adventure.

Get it

The Sea Eternal - Emery Robin

I’m admittedly not yet done with book one, the story of sisters on opposite sides of an intergalactic battle for the throne, but I want to finish it in time for the sequel.
