Fey
A wild, hilarious romp through the lands of fantasy!
When Surge comes to Fey, new horrors are created. New races, new lands and whole civilisations suddenly appear. Living or dying by their own merits, these strange new arrivals have tuned Fey into a strange and vibrant world.
But now, something horrible is happening. An unnamed evil, foretold by prophecy. A horrid evil. A really unpleasant evil! An evil so unspeakable that... that....
Well, we COULD speak about it, but then that would blow the plot! Look you really should just buy the book. How are you ever going to get to sleep now that you’ve peeked under the lid of this whole can of worms!
A rip-roaring spoof of the "High Fantasy" genre & publishing industry. A must for anyone who ever received a rejection slip, or who had to sit through someone avidly recounting their favourite crap fantasy novel.
“Finally a novel that really ASKS for trouble!”

Fantasy has been a genre for a long, long time. Consequently, there's a certain trepidation with which I approach a so called "novel take" on the subject. To some extent they've all been done before, and... yadda yadda yadda, tired-old-argument. The point is, I'm wary of books that hinge specifically on that premise.
If you're like me in that respect, I beseech you; please lower your eyebrows, un-purse your lips, whatever you have to do. I'm absolutely willing to call this book's approach novel. Given, it's inevitably got to be similar to something, somewhere; but not anything you've read before. Or if you have...well, this one did it better. While novelty doesn't necessarily make something a quality read, in this case yes, yes it definitely does.
This could go on to become a preamble for a book devoted to how great this book is, honestly. The long and short of it is, you should read it.

Hilarious parody of geeks, gamers and science-fiction conventions (among other things), which also happens to be one of the better 'help I've fallen into a parallel world where magic works' novels that I've read. A lot of fun, with two very entertaining and 3-dimensional protagonists imo. Well worth the time to read.
