Their intent is to find the wayward son of the Forge Master and to kill him to stop the degradation of the blades. But are stopped in their tracks when they realise that they are hunting the very ranger they’ve just fought off a bunch of wraiths with – the fierce and beautiful Drue Emerson.

Serpent Dominion

Christopher Mitchell

🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕

When World’s End by Mitchell was released, I’ll admit I actually shed more than a few tears. It was the end of an era; an end to the wonderfully crafted Holdfast family. Or so I thought. Turns out, I was wrong – and never have I ever been so happy to admit that. Serpent Dominion is the first book in Mitchell’s new series, and believe me, it’s a stunning opener filled with battles, betrayal and beasts. There’s intrigue, racial conflict and a complicated political system in the world of Athumia that’s bubbling over with magic, power and greed. As ever in Mitchell’s books, before the story begins the reader is given a brief history of that world and a succinct explanation of the hierarchy – which helps the reader begin to understand the structure of the world we’re about to enter.

I know. That’s a lot of books! But I absolutely promise that they’re worth reading. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry. You’ll probably end up very angry at Christopher Mitchell by the end of the series. I know I kind of was.
But, honestly, if you haven’t already – read this magnificent series. You won’t regret it.

A Crown Broken – K A Riley

Posted on by SallyAltass

Although Riley is probably known more for her Young Adult Dystopian novels, I have to say that this foray into high, epic fantasy is an absolute triumph. This is an incredible novel, along with the first in the series, and is definitely cementing Riley as an author with more than one genre in her literary arsenal.
