Two debuts this week: Elise Kova’s Prince of Swords (Del Rey), and Stacey McEwan’s A Forsaken Prophecy (Saga), each ranking among the top 12 on three lists each. Dates shown are posted dates, except those in parentheses, which are dates compiled. New York Times posts its list one week in advance of print publication. Note that some sources do not compile paperback bestsellers, and some exclude YA books (like the Harry Potter series) from their hardcover and paperback fiction lists. We publish hundreds of reviews and news stories each year, but we can't do it without your help.
