Mysterious books
Books that hold back their answers, with secrets, hidden histories and worlds that reveal themselves slowly. James Islington's The Will of the Many keeps its hero and the reader guessing, Leigh Bardugo's Crooked Kingdom hides its plans until the last moment, and Brandon Sanderson's Yumi and the Nightmare Painter builds on the puzzle of two linked lives. Good for readers who enjoy putting clues together.
