Shelley Parker-Chan — 2 titles in the rankings, first published between 2021 and 2023. They average 7.9, above the 7.8 the whole catalogue averages.
Editor’s note Shelley Parker-Chan was born in Malaysia, grew up in Australia and worked in diplomacy and international development in Southeast Asia before writing fiction. She Who Became the Sun (2021) reimagines the rise of Zhu Yuanzhang, founder of the Ming dynasty, as the story of a peasant girl who takes her dead brother’s name and the great fate meant for him; He Who Drowned the World (2023) completes the duology. Ambitious, violent and deeply concerned with gender and desire. Read in order.
