February’s a short month, so you’ll want to apportion your reading time wisely. Fortunately, Genreville is here to help you pick and choose! Here’s a roundup of the February titles that received starred reviews in PW‘s SF/F/H section:
The Heroes by Joe Abercrombie (Orbit)
Brave New Worlds edited by John Joseph Adams (Night Shade)
Pack of Lies: Paranormal Scene Investigations, Book 2 by Laura Anne Gilman (Luna)
Fire the Sky: Book 2 of Contact: The Battle for America by Kathleen O’Neal Gear and W. Michael Gear (Gallery)
Harbinger of the Storm by Aliette de Bodard (Angry Robot)
And as a bonus, some late January SF/F/H titles that got starred reviews online:
Enchanted No More: Mystic Circle, Book 1 by Robin D. Owens (Luna)
Agatha H and the Starship City by Phil and Kaja Foglio (Night Shade)
The Hammer by K.J. Parker (Orbit)
All conflicts of interest aside — we also publish these authors — I cannot recommend Parker’s THE HAMMER enough. Same with Abercrombie’s THE HEROES.
Both are among the best of the new breed of fantasists.
Best,

The Heroes was the first Abercrombie book I read, and I’m totally hooked now. Brutal and brilliant.
Thanks for doing this roundup! Are you planning to make this a regular feature?
Yes; I’ve just been too swamped to do it for March yet! But I will try to get to it Monday.
Cool, glad to hear it!
