-The Sleeping God by Violette Malan. S&S, done exquisitely. Swords! Magic! Travel to far off lands! Discovery of hidden heritage! Women, with Agency! (this was a 4am book, with a non-negotiable 6:30 alarm. I didn't care.)
-Cast in Shadow by Michelle Sagara. Kaylin is a cop in a High Fantasy city, with multiple races and endless chances for misunderstanding. She has a past - it tends to give her an unorthodox perspective. (I like how exposition is handled. Kaylin is infamously bad at academics, so her companions keep exasperatedly filling her in on what she should already know.)
Liz Bourke over at Tor.com has been increasing my TBR pile with every post. It's doing horrible things for my productivity. Those are both from her.
