There are so many new YA/NA books out there since the last time I looked!
It's been several years since I really read Young Adult / New Adult (I've read: Harry Potter series, The Giver, Hunger Games, Mistborn trilogy, Steelheart trilogy, The Black Prism series, Every Heart a Doorway series, Assassin's Apprentice series), but I've written a YA/NA fantasy novel, so I'm looking to expand my knowledge of the current YA market.
In particular, I'm looking for first-person female-lead, magical portal-ish fantasy, with characters learning magic (Sanderson-type magic preferred) and taking control of their own destiny. Low/no romance. Personalized stakes. Intrigue preferred over murder and mayhem.
Those are all specifics, but a recommendation does not have to follow those specifics if you know I just have to read a certain current YA/NA fantasy book.
Thank you!
