Fantasy and Sci-Fi Hidden Gems discussion

Found a great new historical fantasy book. Tell us about it here. Be sure to say why you loved it so much so other readers can make sure it's their type of book.

Some recent historical fiction reads that I loved:

Burning Bright by Melissa McShane is an excellent period drama with magic and a dash of romance that did not take over or overwhelm the book too much. Plus, it's full of ship battles and has some excellent characterizations.

The Lord of Stariel is a very cozy comfort read if you're looking for something low stakes and relaxing to read. I thoroughly enjoyed this book simply because of the atmosphere. It's focused on a young woman with magic who is going home to the family estate for her father's funeral after she's been away for a long time. She reconnects with her family and the estate and it's just a relaxing read overall.
