| It’s bedtime, and every child needs just one more story… Each time a child opens this book – or a parent reads it aloud – they are transported to a magical storybook land. One tale runs with a lonely gray wolf, another swims beside a mermaid, and ano ...more | |

| This long-running series is a thinly veiled political allegory, though readers familiar with the politics of a certain country can pick up any volume and quickly find their bearings. Some parallels are clear, others more subtly disguised. The challen ...more | |

| C.S. Lewis once admitted he loved stories of animals in clothes as a child. A Hedgerow Hollows Tale is very much in that tradition – charmingly illustrated with furry characters and told entirely in verse. Its rhythm, repetition, and musicality make ...more | |

The novel recalls, in some ways, James Clavell’s Shōgun, with its immersive portrayal of Japan’s Shogunate era. An Englishman appears here as well – though in the form of a ghost rather than a shipwrecked survivor. Rich in historical detail, the book ...more |

Ah, nothing like a good old-fashioned tale of sky pirates, homicidal immortals, dark humor, and existential despair to warm the soul. The pacing is brisk, like being chased through a collapsing cathedral, one of the many disasters featured in the nove ...more |

| The world is falling, though we don’t really know why – until the end of the story. A Scarred Drifter is a gripping – and harrowing – emotionally rich post-apocalyptic novel that stands out for its realistic portrayal of survival in a collapsing worl ...more | |

“Politician? Me? Do I look like a big mouth with large pockets?”
― Io Deceneus: Journal of a Time Traveler
― Io Deceneus: Journal of a Time Traveler
“It’s the end of the day, but it feels like dawn, and a new beginning. It comes to me that both twilight periods are, in fact, symmetrical events on opposite sides of midnight, a cycle of endless creation and destruction, an Ouroboros.”
― The Shamans at the End of Time
― The Shamans at the End of Time
“When the fight ends you can afford to relax. That’s the worst part. Winner or loser you have again eyes to see around you. Blood, butchered bodies, bodies pierced by arrows. You stir inside, your heart tightens, the feeling of loss wells up. The sense of smell is the next thing to revive, adding a new dimension of pain. I closed the eyes of the last cadet, blue eyes, unseeing, his body, so small, almost a child, the youngest cadets were all gone, their faces surprised in death. Cold lips never able again to kiss a girl. It’s then that the emptiness swallows you and you mourn inside. Damn you, Scharon. No! Damn you, Travellers.”

― Io Deceneus: Journal of a Time Traveler
― Io Deceneus: Journal of a Time Traveler
“The war had started a long time ago, before their great-grandfathers were born, and there were many stories about why and who had started it; the truth becoming lies, then truth again, then lies again; history twisted like a snake, changing on the whims of each new ruler.”
