Fantasy/Sci-Fi: “The Daughter’s War” - Christopher Buehlman

Sequel to “The Blacktongue Thief,” “The Daughter’s War” is dropping June 25. It follows the protagonist from the first novel, Galva and is set in a goblin-infested world. If you’re looking for a dystopian fantasy novel, “The Daughter’s War” is the book for you.

Comics: “Dune: House Harkonnen Vol. 3” - Brian Herbert, Frank Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson

“Dune: House Harkonnen Vol. 3,” the third comic in the “Dune” series, following one of the most anticipated movies of the year, is dropping on June 25. It is a prequel to conclude the Dune trilogy, following a young Leto, Paul’s father, who dies in the beginning of “Dune.” If you are a sci-fi fan, already invested in the trilogy, this would be a perfect and only way to finish it off.
