Girls at the Edge of the World

A Young Adult romance novel brought out in 2021 on the 8th of June, this would be a stand-alone fantasy title. Creating a whole fantasy world, it’s a self-contained narrative that doesn’t need to be read as part of any overall series as such. There’s elements of science-fiction here too, as it makes for an excellent piece of genre fiction, initially brought out through the ‘Dial Books’ publishing label.

There are only a few guaranteed safe passage into the new world, as an epic flood is set to wash the current world away. While the Kostrovian royal court along with their guards will be saved, Natasha Koskinen and her fleet of silk performers are less certain of their fate. Looking to secure safety for her family, she hopes to be courted by Prince Nikolai, but then her newest recruit Ella Neves turns up looking for vengeance. Will she find her revenge, how will Natasha and Ella deal with the undeniable chemistry between them both, and what will become of the girls at the edge of the world?

It’s a truly imaginative story with a lot of heart, really building a fully immersive world that the reader can really explore. The characters of Ella and Natasha are extremely well drawn too, as they definitely feel real for the reader, coming alive in a sense. When it comes to the story, this also works on every level as well, building a real sense of momentum throughout every step of the way.

The Sea Knows My Name

Initially published on the 14th of June in 2022, this would be another stand-alone Young Adult romance title from Laura Brooke Robson. Released through the ‘Dial Books’ imprint once again too, it can easily be read by itself, not being a part of any larger overall series. The books are fantasy, with a strong fantasy setting, creating a whole world, making it a must for both fans of the author, and of the genre as a whole.

After her own world was washed away by lava and ash, the pirate Clementine Fowler has taught her daughter that she must be strong to survive in a man’s world. But Thea doesn’t have any of this grit of ruthlessness that helped her mother survive, and she now feels that she’s a complete disappointment. That’s when she meets the handsome sailor Bauer, leading to her first romance and, ultimately, her first betrayal, as she begins to understand there’s more to life than being strong. Can she escape from her mother’s shadow, how will she fare in this new world, and what will become of her as she demands that ‘the sea knows my name?’

The story itself is so engaging on every level with a lot to offer the reader, making for a heart-warming and powerful novel. Each of the characters feels fully rounded, with a full personality that truly reflects them and who they are as actual real people. When it comes to the world-building it also excels, as no expense is spared when it comes to detail, as every aspect of the world feels truly alive ready to explore.
