Traitors-Blade

Milo, aka “Bane of Kings”, shares his thoughts on Traitor’s Blade, the debut medieval fantasy novel from Sebastien de Castell. Published by Jo Fletcher Books – it was released this year and is the first part in the Greatcoats series.

TheEmperorsBlades

Milo, aka “Bane of Kings”, covers the debut epic fantasy novel by Brian Staveley, entitled The Emperor’s Blades, and published by Tor Books, it serves as the first installment in the Chronicle of the Unhwen Throne. 

“A very promising fantasy debut that impresses with a confident narrative, however it suffers from poorly written female characters and plenty of repetition and a tendency to over explain certain elements. Despite this though, The Emperor’s Blades for the most part, is actually an incredibly solid read.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields
