The Battle Drum
Saara El-Arifi
The Final Strife was one of my top fantasy reads of last year. If you've not read it, you really should. Then like me you can rush to the shops for The Battle Drum! https://t.co/L2hqZSQb5V

Light of Impossible Stars: An Embers of War Novel
Gareth L. Powell
Just finished listening to the @audibleuk audiobook of @garethlpowell’s Light of Impossible Stars, and as with the previous two books all I can say is wow! This is storytelling at its very best. I can’t recommend it enough.
