"Not a real book" bonus: HOLLOW WHISPERS OF THE WIND by @florencechien.com (historical fiction), her next novel currently on submission. I had the honor to be the first person to beta read it and it is SO GOOD. I don't understand why editors aren't fighting to death for it in a ring or something.

THE REVENANT OF SUROLIFIA by @florencechien.com (political fantasy): another favorite I knew I would love before reading it, but I didn't expect to love Lucas (the protagonist) so much.
