Steven Erikson, Reaper's Gale: volume 7 of an EPIC high fantasy series Laurie J. Marks, Water Logic: third book high fantasy series Austin Grossman, Soon I Will Be Invincible: amusing superhero story Jessica Day George, Dragon Slippers: juvenile fantasy in the style of Wrede Brandon Sanderson, The Well of Ascension: middle of a high fantasy trilogy Lois McMaster Bujold, Legacy: second half of the first part of a duology Kristine Smith, Endgame: conclusion of a science fiction series
