I read a new release called The Darkening by Sunya Mara last month, which I really enjoyed. It's your usual flavour of YA fantasy, but I personally thought it was so well-done, and I'm really looking forward to the sequel next year.
I also read the last book in Intisar Khanani's Dauntless Path series, and it was a wonderful ending to the trilogy. I was a little blindsided by the ending (the romance went in a direction I wasn't prepared for) but overall, I was really happy with the series as a whole.
It's been getting harder and harder for me to find new books to enjoy, so I started doing rereads which is highly unusual for me. First up was The Perilous Gard by Elizabeth Marie Pope, which I know is a favourite in this community as well. It's been about ten years since I first (and last) read it, so I was pleasantly surprised to find it a lot more delightful than I remembered. I didn't quite recall Christopher Heron to be such a sass. Also, I had a lot of feeling about Kate and her character arc in the end, and I so so wish the book had gone on a little longer.
Next up, I'm about to reread Sabriel by Garth Nix, and hopefully I will use this opportunity to finally segue to the rest of the Old Kingdom series, which I've never read before.
