Goodbye 2025. You sounded so futuristic. Still not getting over the “Minnellium”, and even harder to believe they made brown the new black again. Goodbye PANTONE 17-1230. Hello again Dulux Shades of White (Cloud Dancer, Phlegm, whatever) as we go from 90s nostalgia to 80s.

Donna Scott and 26 other people liked Mark Lawrence's review of The Iron Code: "I feel there should be a few more authors on the Goodreads listing - it's just Joanne Harris and me at the moment! I have a Snorri story in this one (a Red Queen's War character, but the story can be read as a standalone). Got my copies today! " Read more of this review »
