If you notice anything inaccurate let me know and I will fix it. The info in the tables is from Goodreads, so genre and audience info is more of a guideline, some books only had very little on GR yet, as release dates are pretty far away. If you know of other books, please let me know and I’ll add them.
Redemptor (secondary world YA epic fantasy with great West-African inspired worldbuilding and lots of found family goodness). Requiem of Silence (secondary world romance series, each book follows a different couple, really enjoyed the first one and very curious where the main story will go from there). A Chorus Rises (Teen siren finds her voice, contemporary story on the backdrop on Black Lives Matter protests). Master of Djinn (Djinn and mysteries in steampunk Cairo, words cannot express how excited I am for this one). Escaping Exodus: Symbiosis (sci-fi with a matriarchal society on a living spaceship). Soulstar (secondary-world historical fantasy with a sort of Edwardian setting and good amounts of romance, the third book will follow a character I’m super excited about). I’ve read book 1 and am eager to continue: I’ve started but I’m only 5% in on The Unbroken, but so far it’s promising, really exploring colonialism in a North-African-inspired setting (as opposed to the others I’ve read that have been set in the US or Caribbean). The main characters are twins that are growing up and growing apart, and they’ve just lost their grandma, but they get to learn magic, so that’s cool. It’s an MG story that leans a bit creepy and heartbreaking. I thought it was a lot of fun, read it real quick and I’m so excited to know the sequel The Undertakers is coming out this year too.Ĭurrently reading Root Magic which is set about 100 years after The Conductors, and this coincidence really makes me want to search out books set in the 2060s or 1760s to stick to my pattern. I’ve already read The Conductors which is a historical murder mystery, set in Philadelphia a few years after the Civil War, following a married couple. Some personal recs before I throw tables at you: 
Edit: There were 81, now 84 books, added 3 to the end I thought Black History Month would be a good time to refresh that post with a list of 84 Speculative Fiction Books by Black Authors – New Releases for 2021. Last year, as part of r/fantasy‘s post series in support of Black Lives Matter, I posted 2020 SFF New Releases by Black Authors.
