Paste Magazine named THE BONE SHARD WAR and GODKILLER as two of their best fantasy books of 2023! On Andrea Stewart’s BONE SHARD WAR, they write: “The ending of The Bone Shard War is bittersweet, to be sure, but it’s also one that feels perfectly in tune with the tone this series has struck from the beginning. A story of hope, sacrifice, and growth, it gives no character an ending they haven’t earned, and promises that we’ll somehow be leaving this world better than we initially found it. If that’s not magic, I don’t know what is.” On Hannah Kaner’s GODKILLER they then write, “Everything about Godkiller is thoroughly engrossing from its grim, low fantasy worldbuilding to its assortment of entertaining and morally gray characters. You’ll probably read it in a single sitting, and be happy to know a sequel is coming next year.”
Woman Magazine included Elodie Harper’s THE TEMPLE OF FORTUNA in their book pages: “Don't miss this riveting conclusion to the historical Wolf Den series”.
Nick Rennison reviewed Anna Mazzola’s THE HOUSE OF WHISPERS for the Sunday Times, calling the novel “absorbing” and “skilfully constructed”.
Nina Pottell has chosen Pim Wangtechawat’s THE MOON REPRESENTS MY HEART as one of Prima Magazine’s books of the year! Nina writes that Pim’s debut is “full of beautiful characters and written with such lovely rhythm and eloquence.”
