#1. The Winner's Curse (The Winner's Trilogy #1) by Marie Rutkoski
The first book in a highly-anticipated YA fantasy series, it features a love story between a general's daughter and a slave.
#2. Promise of Shadows by Justina Ireland
Come on, that cover! It's so gorgeous I don't even care what the book is about. Just kidding, the book's about a teenage Harpy assassin. Enough said.
#3. Gilded (Gilded #1) by Christina L. Farley
A YA fantasy novel about a girl who must deal with moving to Korea from LA, a cranky grandfather, and a soul-stealing demi-god.
#4. The Tropic of Serpents (Memoir by Lady Trent #2) by Marie Brennan

#5. The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender by Leslye Walton
A magical realism YA novel about a girl born with the wings of a bird.
#6. Words of Radiance (The Stormlight Archive #2) by Brandon Sanderson
This is probably one of the most highly-anticipated fantasy novels being published this year. I've gotten through the first half of the first book so far and it is amazing. I'm thinking this one will be even better.

A YA fantasy novel about a sorceress who is losing her powers.
#8. The Weirdness by Jeremy Bushnell
Here is the synopsis of this book: 'A struggling novelist gets a visit from Lucifer, who promises to get him a great book deal if he helps save the world by retrieving Satan's magical Welcome Cat.' How could you go wrong with this book, really?
