The Red Palace by June Hur
So the Red Palace is technically historical fiction, not a fantasy. But I had to include it because the premise just sounds amazing!

This is by no means all of the January 2022 fantasy book releases. But is a good start to the New Year with new books! Let me know which one of these books you are the most excited to read!
