The fifth station of NK Jemisin
Winner of the Hugo award for best novel mixes fantasy and science fiction in a unique way. In a world where earthquakes and catastrophes related to the movement of tectonic plates occur, a phenomenon known as the fifth season occurs, a time when the planet is practically destroyed. To counteract this phenomenon there are orogenes, people who have the power to control the forces of nature.
Three very different stories that end up converging with many twists that will leave you crazy and with a fast-paced ending. It is part of a trilogy known as The Broken Land and is published by Nova (who also publishes Brandon Sanderson).
A Darker Magic by VE Schwab
Parallel universes, super powerful wizards, magical cities… You can not ask for more. There is a Gray London, without magic and with a mad king. A Red London, where life and magic are honored and where Kell grew up with the heir to a splendid empire. A White London, where the struggle to control magic left a city in ruins. And long ago, there was a Black London. But no one talks about it anymore.
Officially, Kell is the Red Traveler and responsible for circulating correspondence between the nobles of each London. Unofficially, he is a smuggler, a hobby with deadly consequences…
It is part of a trilogy called Shadows of Magic and is published by Planeta Libros.
Jim Butcher’s Fateful Tempest
Harry Dresden is a magician who offers his services in the city of Chicago. With this premise begin the adventures of this peculiar guy, a renegade magician who tries to help others… for a price. In this first adventure he will have to face his past and his future and there will be consequences. An urban fantasy adventure that spans many books (17 at the moment) and that has become a sales success.
Currently there 11 books published in Spain and No solo rol has been in charge of reissuing the first numbers and launching the last ones.
The Last Smile in Sunder City by Luke Arnold
Another sly urban fantasy novel, with a protagonist who charges extra for being sober and only works for non-human beings… A truly clever build that mixes magic and reality brilliantly and a memorable cast of characters. Fetch is a nasty guy, a hard guy to understand, but you end up loving him.
Range brings us this hilarious series, currently with 2 books in Spanish and 3 in English.
Blood Pledge by Brian McClellan
And beastly start where we have a coup to prevent the kingdom from being sold and defeated. An experienced military man will see how difficult it is to rule after the murder of nobles while he has to defend himself against a magic that is more powerful than him and his family. A very original magic based on gunpowder and well built characters. Few books you have read that make you want to read the second part more than this one.
Once again, Gamon bets on fantasy with the gunpowder wizards, a trilogy of which the first two volumes have already been published and which is captivating readers. In addition to this trilogy, the world of gunpowder wizards is extended with short stories and with more novels that take place in the same universe.
Curiously, Brian McClellan has been a student of Brandon Sanderson and it shows quite a lot, especially in the magic system and in the final avalanche of the book. Will McLellan beat Brandon Sanderson?
