Why read The Rise of Thion?
Because it dares to speak in forgotten tones.
Archaic, lyrical, demanding—and richly rewarding.
For readers who love myth not just for its content, but for its language.

I've recently finished N.K. Jemisin's The Broken kingdoms, which I thought was a really vivid, interesting, and well-crafted fantasy book.

Oliver Arditi's review of The Broken Kingdoms (Inheritance, #2)

5/5: I've been reading a fairly broad sampling of recent and not-so-recent fantasy, trying to find something other than the early giants of the genre that really speaks to me as a reader. I mean, I've decided to devote my entire life to building a fantasy world and setting stories in it, so surely I must actually like this genre? Well, on the whole, despite enjoying quite a few of the books I've been reading, the number that go beyond that level of casual liking for me are vanishingly few. N.K.

Every Friday, I meet a member of the BFS and peer deep into their soul (or, at least, a form they filled out).

The Jaguar Mask is here! Help me not have to find space for them in my small house by buying a copy. It's a phenomenal book: a rich world and complex characters, and fundamentally kind and optimistic. It is definitely a book for now - a book that acknowledges the terrible evils of the world and shows us another way. The book is available to order everywhere, but order from us and it will ship next week (otherwise it's out Aug 1st).
