Thiefs-Magic

Milo, aka “Bane of Kings”, turns his attention to the first book in an all new series from popular fantasy author Trudi Canavan, Thief’s Magic, the first title in her Orbit-published Millenium’s Rule series, focusing on two characters in entirely different worlds. 

“My first Trudi Canavan novel is mostly a success. Smart, well written and compelling Thief’s Magic may not be perfect, but it is one of the better Fantasy books you’ll read this year and I can certainly recommend it.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields

Dirty Magic

Shadowhawk takes a look at the first novel in Jaye Wells’ new urban fantasy series from Orbit Books.

“One of the best urban fantasy novels I’ve read to date and also lacking any substantial PNR elements, which was a big plus. This is a police procedural through and through with some great urban fantasy elements mixed in. Highly recommended.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields

Shadowdance: A Dance of Cloaks by David Daglish – Book Review [Bane of Kings]

A Dance of Cloaks

Milo, aka “Bane of Kings”, writes a review of A Dance of Cloaks, the first novel in the originally self-published Shadowdance epic fantasy series – reprinted by Orbit Books and written by David Daglish. Whilst the author has set this novel in the same world as his Half-Orc series, A Dance of Cloaks can be read without prior knowledge of those books. 

“An engaging, dark character driven novel that whilst doesn’t really bring anything new to the table in terms of originality - delivers a damn fine read nonetheless. David Daglish is certainly an author to watch out for, as he delivers a promising debut.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields
