Daughter of Fire
Despite the unevenness, Robleda’s first novel shows promise and would be a good add to Latine mythology collections. Young adult readers will appreciate the chivalrous romance, and those with an interest in Latin American history will find the cultural perspective refreshing.
Playing for Freedom: The Journey of a Young Afghan Girl
A must-have for any collection, especially in school and academic libraries. This memoir celebrates the power of one young woman to make a difference by speaking up and daring to be herself.

The Four Corners of the Heart: An Unfinished Novel
Despite being unfinished, Sagan’s razor-sharp portrayal of the upper classes is on full display in this fine novel.
PREMIUM
The Court of Shadows
Fantasy fans who like their speculative fiction filled with vampyre aristocrats and plenty of twists along the way will enjoy taking a bite out of this series starter.
Broken Summer
This is an engrossing and beautifully written mystery, with complex characters that Lee delicately strips bare.
Matilda’s Secret
Recommended for fans of interwar-era and World War II–era historical fiction, and general historical fiction, especially with a European setting.
The North Face of the Heart
The mysteries are dark and twisty, and the moments of danger are plentiful. Amaia’s experience with trauma gives her insight into people’s thinking; she uses this knowledge to hunt down new demons. Fans of noir fiction will devour this book.
The Ardent Swarm
Winner of the prestigious Prix de la Francophonie, Tunisian-born, Paris-based Manai’s first book to be translated into English is a fascinating account of parallel conflicts between bees and hornets and between villagers and fanatics. The enormous talent on display here recommends a second reading to relish the author’s storytelling ability.
PREMIUM
The Divine Boys
Although Restrepo (Delirium) gives this award-winning novel an effective structure and flowing text, the despicable characters and violent crime are major turnoffs. Heinous though the murder is, the author elicits little pity for the victim and offers no apology or explanation on the perpetrator’s behalf. Appealing to those readers for whom sensationalism and contemptible characters are standard entertainment.
