Chinese myths are steeped in symbolism and this title provides an new accessibility to the complexities of a civilisation that stretches back more than 4000 years

Ranking All of the Dungeon Crawler Carl Books

June 30, 2023 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

This series is like if D&D and video games got drunk and had a kid, and that kid is a mean little bastard.

Review: The Hero Interviews by Andi Ewington

June 4, 2023 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

I can fondly describe The Hero Interviews as taking that journal full of rolled-up D&D characters you are never going to get to play, and hitting it against a stack of books by the late Sir Terry Pratchett until it’s studded with footnotes.

Review: Seeds of War by João F. Silva [The Smokesmiths #1]

April 30, 2023 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

Exactly the right amount of grit and smoke-fuelled fantasy that makes Seeds of Way feel like the start of a chest-burningly solid series.

Review: Mystic Reborn by Jeffrey Speight [Archives of Evelium Book #2]

April 19, 2023 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

Speight lays down a summoned celestial sword to challenge all my other TBR books to come close to how much I enjoyed reading Mystic Reborn.

Author Interview: Frasier Armitage

March 29, 2023 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

I caught up with our very own Frasier Armitage to talk about his upcoming debut, New Yesterday. We also talked about retrograding, writing tips, and why Keanu Reeves should star in the movie adaptation.

Review: New Yesterday by Frasier Armitage

March 21, 2023 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

The literary equivalent of paddling in a dingy at the shallow end before being sucked into a riptide and finding yourself white water rafting … but with added time travel!

Review: World Running Down by Al Hess

March 10, 2023 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

There’s a huge amount of love in this book. WRD was meant to be a palette cleanser for me in the all-you-can-eat buffet of space opera sci-fi out there at the moment but it shone as a wonderful book in its own right.

Review: The Ten Percent Thief by Lavanya Lakshminarayan

January 13, 2023 by Tom Bookbeard Leave a Comment

Lakshminarayan’s narrative style is playful and crushing in equal measure. This makes for a strong debut and a whole new sense of unease about our overreliance on technology.
