    If lady knights with hearts of gold and righteous, powerful witches are your cup of tea, The Isle in the Silver Sea will absolutely delight! Especially if you like it when said lady knights and witches kiss 👩🏾‍❤️‍💋‍👩🏾 ;)

    As always, Tasha Suri's indictment of colonialism and its oppressive legacies are strong and really well done in this book, working to build a story that resonates on so many different thematic and emotive levels.

    Recommended listening is Florence + The Machine's album Everybody Scream. And if you've already read the book, I'd recommend giving this a listen anyway, there's some lines that REALLY resonate with these characters and this plot so well that I had to wonder if they wrote this album for the book.

    Copper Skin, Oaken Lungs (Copper & Ash, #1)

    Adam Bassett

    For a thousand years, The Old Town has stood as humanity’s last bastion against the maalkonis, malignant black mists that reduced the rest of the world to ash. They are kept at bay by rusty machines on the town’s walls. In order to survive, the dwindling population depends on one another. Since a young age, Justīne has embraced the harsh responsibilities that accompanied her apprenticeship on the last farm in existence. Her younger sister, Anna, is beginning her own apprenticeship as well. Learning engineering was not Anna's first choice, but the town's last mage fell to the maalkonis years prior, leaving nothing behind but confusing books and strange runes. When food runs low during a particularly harsh winter, distrust spreads like a plague, and Justīne is blamed for it. As hunger leads to violence, she and her siblings are forced to flee The Old Town, embarking on a perilous journey into the very mists that had formed their cage. Their fight to survive in the dark develops into a hopeful mystery as they follow the breadcrumbs of a mage’s efforts to save the world. Meanwhile something pursues them through the maalkonis…
