***** THE YEAR OF THE WITCHING
THE YEAR OF THE WITCHING ALEXIS HENDERSON ***** Blood. Blight. Darkness. Slaughter. Four plagues have come to the small village of Bethel – but who summoned them and who can stop them? The Year of the Witching is a great standalone fantasy story. Personally I much prefer standalone book to sprawling epics with endless installments and unknown publication dates. I’m also likely have forgotten everything about the last book by the time the next one comes out! This book packs a

THE BLACK HAWKS - ***
THE BLACK HAWKS DAVID WRAGG *** When Chel is tasked with escorting a Prince to safety, he meets the rag tag band of mercenaries – The Black Hawks. But who can he really trust? The Black Hawks is a fun fantasy with a streak of sarcasm and humour woven into its writing style (although there are no real laugh at loud moments that I was expecting from the hype). This makes for a fun read which flows well and keeps you engaged. However, as far as the fantasy genre goes it isn’t ex

TEMPESTS & SLAUGHTER *
TEMPESTS & SLAUGHTER TAMORA PIERCE * Tempests and Slaughter follows Arram Draper and his friends Varrice and Ozorne as they begin life at the mage school of the Imperial University of Cathak. When I was younger I loved Harry Potter but I remember wishing that we found out more about the day to day life at Hogwarts and the classes our young heroes went to, rather than focussing solely on the overarching storyline of defeating You-Know-Who. Tempests and Slaughter fulfils my wis

FOUNDRYSIDE *****
FOUNDRYSIDE ROBERT JACKSON BENNETT
***** Sancia Grado is a thief by necessity, but after an elaborate heist lands a peculiar object in her lap that a lot of people seem to kill for, she realises she may have bitten off more than she can chew… Foundryside is easily my favourite fantasy book of 2018 and I think it can also go in my top 5 books of the year as well. Everything about it is brilliantly done – all of the characters are believable and have depth – from thief with a p

THE CITY OF BRASS ****
THE CITY OF BRASS S. A CHAKRABORTY **** Growing up in the city of Cairo, Nahri is used to doing what she can to survive; she uses her somewhat strange ability to heal others as a chance to con people into giving her money. However, when she accidently summons a real Djinn in a fake religious ceremony, she discovers her heritage and a whole new world she never thought existed. The City of Brass is a great take on the fantasy genre – based on Middle Eastern mythology which I do
