Glossolalia; or don’t scream it on the mountain, by E. Rathke

Glossolalia: or don’t scream it on the mountain is a novella written by E. Rathke, which is a little bit difficult to classify in a genre, oscillating between historical fiction (if a prehistoric novel can be called it) and fantasy. It’s a really different book, using a really special narrator style, trying to tell us about what happened to a small village of artic dwellers when a stranger (Ineluki) walked into their place.

Price of Innocence (Sonder’s Song #1), by Michelle Piper

Price of Innocence is the first book in the Sonder’s Song trilogy, and the debut novel from Michelle Piper. It is really different from the classic fantasy, avoiding using most of the tropes in the genre, and instead taking the focus on really unconventional characters, becoming a study on, let’s call them, evil characters, and how many times they are forced to act as they act due to necessity.

Magissa, by Kassandra Flamouri

Magissa is a great novel about grief and dealing with pain, a really well-written tribute to the Greek traditions, while also constituting an entertaining urban fantasy book. We are directly thrown into the funeral of Chrysa’s parents, who died in America in strange circumstances, being this funeral hosted in Greece, their homeland, to where Chrysa has returned after fourteen years out, as she has been raised as an American.
