YA
Razorland series.
The war between humans and the Uroch has ended, and Tegan, now a ship's doctor, develops a romantic relationship with Szarok, "vanguard" of the Uroch. With natural-feeling third-person-omniscient narration, this standalone companion to the dystopic Razorland trilogy is at its most thought-provoking in scenes where Tegan and Szarok explain their societies' ways to each other.

YA
Razorland series.
Deuce's skills from her Huntress days come in handy when a horde of mutant "Freaks" descends upon the humans of her post-apocalyptic world, but trusting some of the enemy turns out to be a worthwhile risk. Relationships, including Deuce's romance with Fade, soften a bloody tale; as in previous compelling installments, readers should suspend disbelief for Deuce's background-belying vocabulary and emotional intelligence.
