What it says on the tin: three fabulous fantasy books from 2020 that no one seems to be talking about!
You’ll Never Side With the Superheroes Again: Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots
Her superpower is Powerpoint, and she gets shit DONE.
Also, it is faster to just read the book than to read all my feels about it.

These Books Will Carve You Open: Hollow Folk series by Gregory Ashe
This series is a phoenix, and it will set your soul on fire and burn your heart to the ground, and it’s so fucking beautiful that the pain of it being over is a thousand times worse than what it puts you through.
Outshining the Sun: Raybearer by Jordan Ifueko
