For future reference, if you say that something has the wit and tone of Nghi Vo's Into The Riverlands, I will jump on it like a hungry leopard with a jet pack Which is to say, this is really good #wyrdandwonder https://t.co/21X3vQa8lD

Furies of Calderon

Jim Butcher
PeatPeat

I recently revisited Jim Butcher's Furies of Calderon, the first book in the Codex Alera, and discovered a book that is still a lot of fun but does undercut itself a bit too much https://t.co/UzSzqliZTb

Realm Breaker

Victoria Aveyard
PeatPeat

My review of Victoria Aveyard's Realm Breaker, a fun YA Epic Fantasy where I loved the focus on big shiny fantasy things but reckon it could have been even better for a bit of restraint https://peatlong.wordpress.com/2021/10/05/realm-breaker-by-victoria-aveyard/

The Art of Prophecy

Wesley Chu
PeatPeat

Wesley Chu's The Art of Prophecy was a ton of fun, albeit one with a major flaw for me. Nevertheless, can't wait until book 2 https://t.co/ff8wYvt5pJ
