Hi all, since Europe Comics closed its website I've fallen out of the loop. Are there still publishers publishing BD in English?

How do you find out about upcoming/new releases?

Hi everyone, I've been compiling a list of "Epic Fantasy" published this year. It seems a bit lighter-on compared to previous years - I get the feeling publishers are moving away from it toward cozy and romantasy. Plus there are a number of authors "between books" this year. But anyway, I thought I would share.

These are the books I'm aware of. I've tried to mostly limit it to secondary/epic fantasy but if in doubt I've been inclusive. I'm interested to hear your thoughts if you've read any of them!

Sister Wake - Dave Rudden

A God of Countless Guises - Bradley Beaulieu (book 2)

Sister Svangerd and the Not Quite Dead - KJ Parker

Mr Stryke - Brian McClellan (novella)

The Falling Sky - David Hair (Talmont 3)

Pretenders to the Throne of God - Adrian Tchaikovsky (Tyrant Philosophers 4)

Isles of the Emberdark - Brandon Sanderson

Daughter of Crows - Mark Lawrence (Academy of Kindness 1)

Steel Gods - Richard Swan (Great Silence 2)

The Book of Fallen Leaves - AS Tamaki (Autumn Empire 1)

The Red Winter - Cameron Sullivan

The Witch Without Memory - Maithree Wijisekera (Obsidian Throne 2)

The Poet Empress - Shen Tao

This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me - Ilona Andrews

Champion of the Fallen - ML Spencer (Rivenworld 2)

The Hidden Way - Juliet Marillier (Heartwood 2)

Green and Deadly Things - Jenn Lyons

The Dance of Burning Blades - MH Ayinde (Invoker 2)

The Demon King - Peter Brett (Nightfall 3)

Dark Queen - Jeff Wheeler (Angel Sworn 3)

The Fall of Waterstone - Lilith Saintcrow (Black Lands 2)

Witch's Daughter - Sarah A Hoyt (Empires of Magic 2)

Let me know if there's anything major I've missed! I've largely not included self-published books but may make another list of those.

Anyway I hope you enjoy this list and it gives you some ideas of books to buy. Even though Epic Fantasy seems a bit out of style this year, it's good to know there are still a few books out there.
