James Barclay recommends
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."
The End of Magic (2019)
(End of Magic, book 1)
Mark Stay
"The sort of book you give to people who say 'prove to me why I should read fantasy' A simply terrific read."
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."
