Amina's Voice by Hena Khan - Realistic fiction is not normally my thing, but this sweet MG novel charmed me while also teaching me a few things about the experiences of some Muslim Americans.
The Dark Prophecy by Rick Riordan - I continue to be impressed by (A) Rick Riordan in general, as an author and a person, and (B) his ability to pull off writing a series from the point of view of the god Apollo.
Dreadnought by April Daniels - My favorite of the year! The prose, characters, and world are all excellent in this YA novel about a trans girl who becomes a superhero.
One Dark Throne by Kendare Blake - Sequel to the fascinating fantasy Three Dark Crowns, which is a hard act to follow. I couldn't put this one down, either. Kendare Blake can write, y'all.
