What I'll wear when I become dictator

Vajra! It was also a staff pick at Third Place Books in Seattle's Ravenna neighbourhood! I took this photo sometime last week and have been consistently forgetting to pass it on to you
A cover of The Saint of Bright Doors, by Vajra Chandrasekera, with the following note attached: All you Jeff Vandermeer and Sofia Samatar freaks out there (rise up!!) will love this one. Chandrasekera's dreamlike postcolonial intrigue is a spy story, the tale of a Chosen One post-heel turn, a novel about gods and devils, a terrifying exposition on political violence, and so much more, rolled up into a huge, fascinating Katamari ball of a book. I loved this and think it deserves a place in conversation with the best speculative fiction books from the past decade.
