Is it just me or is Lonesome Dove (the book)... boring and lame? I'm like 100 pages into this and it's just not hitting like other great historical fiction has been.

Gollancz snaps up three-book deal from 'gifted' fantasy author JT Greathouse Gollancz has snapped up three epic fantasy novels from JT Greathouse, beginning with the standalone novel The Tower of the Tyrant.

Oh hey would you look at that.

I'm back at it again with @brendandurkin.bsky.social for three more books at @gollancz.bsky.social!

This one's got everything!
Ghosts!
Excessively virtuous knights!
A distressing tower!
A man who is also a tree?
Lots of birds!
Utopian anarchism!

It's great.

"Swan has returned to his fantasy playground two hundred years later... combining his obsession with the weaknesses of empire and the horrors of war against the backdrop of the gunpowder and merchant navy age. Master and Commander with psychotic mermen, anyone?"

You available to write copy, Ed?

Thanks to @torbooks.bsky.social for sending me a copy of this bad boy by @scottdrakeford.com, the sequel to a modern fantasy classic

I thought the 1st one was frankly incredible so I’m looking forward to more military rebellion/creepy sorcerers/electromagnetic-life-source-not-totally-sure magic

Just finished Lightfall by @edcrockerbooks.bsky.social !

4.5/5, full review to come but holy shit. What a debut! Anxiously awaiting book 2, which also hurts since this isn't officially out yet. Gonna be a massive hit.

Ryan could not have written a more timely book than this one. Check it out if you like food, magic, revolution, or any combination thereof. It sits in the Venn diagram centre of all three.

My copy of @scottdrakeford.com 's FATE OF SILENT GODS arrived. I adore this cover and the compact hardback might just be my favourite format. If you like fast paced military fantasy then give it a go!

📕⚔️⚡️New Review⚡️⚔️📕
