Fandom:
Sevenwaters Trilogy - Juliet MarillierRating: Teen And Up Audiences
This was truly a story of my heart, and I am so grateful to my wonderful author! It's a must-read if you know the Sevenwaters books, or even if you just know the Six Swans fairy tale that the first book is based on. Beautiful missing scenes/epilogue and very strong character work, with a fine mix of lore thrown in.
Others in alphabetical order:

An incredibly fun adventure in the Uncharted series, from Elena's POV. The
spirit of the games, as well as the characters and the dialogue, have been captured beautifully.
