  Ascendant by Diana Peterfreund (for killer unicorns) 
Voices of Dragons by Carrie Vaughn 

Best Graphic Novel

  3. Yikes, I have read so few from your list. I have Sister Red sitting in my reading stack, I will move it up immediately.

    Ascendants sounds good with it killer unicorns. Different but good :)
