Here are the occasional reflections of a joyful traveller along the strange pathways of fantasy and adventure. All my reviews are independent and unsolicited. I read many books that I don’t feel sufficiently enthusiastic about to review at all. Rather, this blog is intended as a celebration of the more interesting books I stumble across on my meandering reading journey, and of the important, life-affirming experiences they offer. It is but a very small thank you for the wonderful gifts their writers give.

Dragonborn Quartet by Toby Forward

I am delighted to see that Starborn, the completing volume of Toby Forward's Dragonborn Quartet, has just been published in a handsome new hardback edition in the USA, with each book being followed up by a matching paperback.

I sincerely hope that this new edition will bring deserved appreciation and acclaim to a masterpiece of quirkily original fantasy, stunning writing and deep humanity which has, sadly, been largely overlooked so far here in the UK.

Please look back to my post from August '14 for a full discussion of this amazing work.
