The aims of reading these books are:
- To learn the essential storytelling concepts without adopting someone else’s specific style
- To create works of fantasy fiction that feel original

"Very original dark fantasy with weird creatures and an interesting magic system. To me, this read like a cross between a detective story and military fantasy with plenty of action, twists, and enough heart that I hesitate to call it grim dark, althou"

I would never have thought that a book that features Tolkienesque species such as dwarfs and elves would be the front runner for my book of the year, but it's July and I'm so glad that it is! I have struggled with fantasy in recent years. Many books h ...more |

"This was so enjoyable. I haven't read the first in this series yet, so that is on my list of Kindle reads, and I can't wait to learn what brought Raine to the position we find her in Traitor of Redwinter. Lots of lovely red herrings and clues as to w"

"LIGHT ABOVE! THIS WAS JUST BRILLIANT! I know I shouldn’t be this shocked that Ed McDonald managed to swept me off my feet a second time, just like he did with Daughter of Redwinter but I am truly taken aback by the sheer brilliance of Traitor of Redw"

“I saw you stand,” I said. “Saw your courage, back at Twelve. Saw the steel in your will, the power you command. You say there’s nothing of woman about you? You aren’t some painted vase, delicate and useless. You’re a fucking lioness. The strongest damn thing that ever lived. There’s nothing of you but woman.”

“The world is a cruel mother, a matron of darkness, selfishness, greed, and misery. For most, their time suckling at her breast is naught but a scramble through stinging, tearing briars before a naked, shameful collapse as the flesh gives out. And yet in the bright eyes of every newborn, there lies a spark, a potential for goodness, the possibility of a life worth living. That spark deserves its chance. And though most of them will turn out to be as worthless as the parents who sired them, while the cruelty of the earth will tell them to release their innocence and join in the drawing of daggers, every now and then one manages to clutch to its beauty and refuses to release it into the dark.”
