James Barclay recommends
The Immortal Throne (2016)
(City , book 2)
Stella Gemmell
"Bestselling author of The City-the best fantasy novel I've read in the last decade."
Stranger of Tempest (2016)
(God Fragments, book 1)
Tom Lloyd
". . . an outstanding and refreshingly original work of fantasy fiction; and even in a genre crowded with incredible talent and content, it will undoubtedly stand out and, I hope, propel Tom centre-stage where he clearly now belongs."
The End of Magic (2019)
Mark Stay
"The sort of book you give to people who say 'prove to me why I should read fantasy'… A simply terrific read."
The Coward (2021)
(Coward, book 1)
Stephen Aryan
"Sparkling action sequences punctuate keen dialogue and a journey full of colour and interest... Compelling, consuming and a novel in which no character can be considered supporting cast... Bring on the sequel."
