Much of what gives the books their particular flavour is their far future setting. In the tradition of Jack Vance’s Dying Earth novels and M. John Harrison’s Viriconium stories, The Book Of The New Sun’s medieval-tinged Fantasy world of swords, guilds, apprentices and nobles reveals itself to be set thousands of years in the future, in a time when the Earth, now called the Urth, is so old the sun is dying and much of the technological and scientific advances of our time and the future have been lost or forgotten. Wolfe creates this atmosphere through his use of obscure archaic words to describe the coins, the military and social ranks, and the animals. The unfamiliar yet evocative words create a sense of strangeness and mystery, and they also tell the reader what, say, the animals are similar to and what they are used for whilst subtly reminding them that these are animals bred from extraterrestrial and Earth animal crosses or genetically altered by future science.

Review of Mistwood by Leah Cypess, first book in the Mistwood series.
Latest review over on Fantasy-Faction. I quite liked this one, despite a few gripes.
The most amazing books take you on a journey that changes you, they force you to see the world in a different way and change how you react to certain experiences. Robin Hobb’s books have always done this, but this is by far the best example of it. The Fool’s Assassin will change you as a person, force you to look at the world in a new way – that’s an incredible power that only very, very few authors have and for this fine display of such magic, Robin Hobb is the only possible choice for Best Fantasy Novel of 2014.
Shadowplay on Fantasy Factions Top 50 Fantasy Books of 2014
Whoohoo! Shadowplay is number 17 on Fantasy Faction’s Best 50 Fantasy Books of 2014! It’s at 17, which is pretty damn awesome. Feels great to be on the list and see some love for Micah. They say:
Shadowplaycontinues Micah Grey’s story, both in terms of plot and character growth. The interplay between Micah and Drystan, the white clown, is charming and heart-wrenching in equal measure, as Micah…

I wrote another review for Fantasy-Faction! I loved this book oodles more than I thought I would. The fun, fairly basic fantasy plot is completely overshadowed, in my eyes, by the important discussions of race, class, feminism, and personal agency. Way to go Kiersten White!
Signed books from none other than Mark Lawrence, Joe Abercrombie, and Peter V. Brett (I wonder what the V stands for...) Good haul.
Review of The Long Mars by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter, third book in the Long Earth series.
