My gorgeous @waterstones.bsky.social copy got here today. And to anyone that hasn’t read it yet, if you enjoy an inherently atmospheric setting, a narrative that trusts the reader, cinematic prose and wonderfully compelling and intelligent characters, this is for you.

If you haven’t gotten into the Nampeshiweisit series, do yourself a favour. The second book in the series, To Ride a Rising Storm, is now available and it’s a banger.

Moniquill Blackgoose delivers a wonderfully crafted fresh take on dragon lore and anwonderfully compelling tale that is less like a traditional dragon-rider story and more like a collision between worlds, power, language, belonging, and who gets to define knowledge in the first place.

Yes, yes - YES! It’s like a shiny Pokémon ;)
The purple is giving, and that’s all we need to say.

Now… 5 down, 2 to go 🔥

Saara El-Arifi taking on one of history’s most mythologised women… immediate interest.

If we’re going to resurrect a legend, we may as well do it properly, and this edition absolutely understood the assignment. Edges. Boards. Signature. Drama.

Having now read it, can confim that it’s pretty great.

Stoked to see it. Can’t wait to read it.

A gorgeous, hefty (and oh so heavy) edition of Empire of Silence crafted by Anderida.

Isn’t his kid already suffering enough? Having to survive dumbass parents?

Awesome work by @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social. It really matches the vibe.

GREENTEETH was an absolute standout from last year. And Molly O'Neil's follow-up, NIGHTSHADE & OAK delivers a delightful and heartbreaking mythological read.

I think the right one, for sure. Your skin just looks much more hydrated and moisturised.

Rorschach (from Blindsight) - An alien biosphere orbiting a brown dwarf star that evolves intelligence without consciousness.
Cold. Clinical. Terrifying.

This was indeed awesome. And his new one is great too.

Certain islands should be off-limits…

Oh, it’s awesome. Let me know what you think after you read it :) I have a particular soft spot for the main character in that.

An awesome novella. Did you also read The Heart of the Reproach short story?

Although, Adrian, which ever one ends up being the final volume, maybe ask @headofzeus.bsky.social and Joe to go back to gold… for the bookending symmetry ;)

Accompanied by the usual stunning artwork from Joe Wilson, @aptshadow.bsky.social delivers another entry in the Tyrant Philosophers series. Now… to go and immediately binge through it.

And somehow still not quite enough ;)

Hey, Adrian. D’you think Elder Race might get a hardcover release to match the new sequel?

And it’s packed to the brim with awesomeness :)

It’s been defo one of the highlights of these books to have the added benefit of Joe’s art continuing to be so evocative of the story. I found myself quite a few times coming back to the covers while reading them and looking at them with fresh insight. Hope you get to work with him in future works.
