Told from Bree’s point of view, the rich narrative nicely captures everything she encounters and feels. Her gradual immersion into the secret, magical world alongside ours is perfect for gently establishing the complex world without the dreaded info dump. Not only is the worldbuilding filled with intricate lore, but it also touches on serious themes such as racism and slavery.

KING OF FOOLS by Amanda Foody
This design is almost identical to that of the preceding book, Ace of Shades. While there are a few pattern changes, the main difference is in the colour scheme. The striking red colour of the previous design has been replaced with a subtle blue that makes this cover less eye-catching and appealing.

FAIRY TALE by Stephen King
How pretty is this cover?! The gentle, pastel colours work wonderfully with the simple illustration to create a striking design. I also love that we have Charlie and Radar in the design, even though all we get is their outline.

THE OLEANDER SWORD by Tasha Suri
This gorgeous green cover is absolutely stunning and fits well with the design for the previous book in this series. The illusion of Malini is a great touch that reflects her significant role in the story.
