Shadowhawk reviews two of Strange Chemistry’s latest young adult fantasy titles.
On Emilie & The Hollow World: “This is an action-adventure novel that is very reminiscent of Jules Verne’s classic, A Journey To The Center of The Earth. Hence, my conclusion is that the novel is a work of genius.“
On The Holders: “An Irish fantasy that reads like an X-men novelisation. Which means of course that this was pretty damn good, no mistake.”
Shadowhawk brings to you another cover reveal, this time from Strange Chemistry, the Young Adult imprint of Angry Robot Books.
“Very introspective, thoughtful and dreamy, this is a wonderful cover, and definitely one of Strange Chemistry’s best yet.” ~Shadowhawk
