Seraphina by Rachel Hartman cover

Seraphina

…in love wonderfully, and her relationships with both Prince Lucian and his fiancé, Princess Glisselda, as well as that with her dragon-uncle Orma balance the novel wonderfully, and Hartman’s characters really are standout. Hartman’s excellent prose only manages to compound this: Seraphina is one of the best-written high-fantasy novels I’ve read yet. In a genre bristling with derivative works and awful teenage fanfiction, Rachel Hartman’s début Ser… Continue reading

Shadow Wave by Robert Muchamore cover

Shadow Wave

…warding part of the story is the beginning, where it’s actually centred around James completing the Brigands MC mission. If only the book had continued this threadline, all would have been good. As a fan of the series, I was really hoping for a bumper ride. Instead, Shadow Wave is a disappointment that doesn’t even focus James. While I respect Robert Muchamore for trying to make people aware of the dangers of tourism, the way he has pulled it off… Continue reading

End of an Era

…ng; later it would become a platform by which I would meet new friends and understand the publishing industry in more depth. It also allowed me to read voraciously; receiving proofs and review copies allowed me to read more (and more widely) than I could ever afford as a teenager. And perhaps, most of all, it showed me what I could be and who I could become as a gay teenager. So it is with some nostalgia that I will be shuttering ThirstForFiction,… Continue reading

Railhead by Philip Reeve cover

Railhead

…n pass through the portal-like gates created by the Guardians. Caught in Thunder City, on one of the factory worlds, Zen Starling cannot say no when a stranger offers him a whole world of money and the chance to ride the most prestigious train of all – all in return for a little petty thievery… There’s much to like about Railhead. Reeve’s narrative whisks you away quickly to his imaginative universe; and even here, untethered from “Old Earth”, he… Continue reading

This is Not a Love Story by Keren David cover

This Is Not a Love Story

…pen: the story-telling strings are about as subtle as Zwarte Piete, the racist relic of Dutch culture they rally against. As This Is Not a Love Story reaches its denouement, it’s a struggle to remain surprised, but David manages to maintain interest with her somewhat unusual love-triangle, Jewish background and an evasively interesting love interest – Ethan. Given the “three friends” ending, it’s odd that David chose to narrate from two perspectiv… Continue reading

Philip Reeve

An Interview with Philip Reeve

…although it’s got much more sophisticated since then, it still has grease under its fingernails; it’s never going to be respectable. Which is, of course, an enormous strength! T4F: I know you don’t specifically plan your books, but do you have a timeline of events (for the WoME) that you stick to, or do you just write and hope it fits in with the other books? A timeline has sort of evolved, because people in the earlier books mention things that… Continue reading

Stuart Hill

An Interview with Stuart Hill

…interesting and exciting. I think it’s pretty obvious that many of the incidents and characters are quite closely based on actual historical figures and events. T4F: Did you find it challenging writing from the point of view of a 14 year old girl? SH: You know, I don’t think I did particularly. People are people first and gender second, I think. Besides, my partner, Clare, read the first drafts, and remembering her own adolescent years, she said i… Continue reading

My Year in Books: 2014

…(and trying various books), I eventually got back into the groove with a recommendation from M.G.Harris: Japanese modern classic Norwegian Wood, which you could easily describe as the Japanese version of Catcher in the Rye, except it’s less whiny, more sexed-up and generally better…(controversial, I know!) December The Last Leaves Falling by Sarah Benwell, All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven, Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda I managed to whizz… Continue reading
