@TimHardieAuthor I'm not surprised it was difficult with so much to weave together. I'll gather my thoughts for a review. I've bought book 4 this morning and will be diving straight in. I can’t wait to discover how everyone's stories continue and end.

@TheBookScene That's so great to hear, Nick. I'm really pleased you're continuing the series and enjoying it so much! This was the most difficult book for me to write in the whole series but for many readers it seems to be their favourite. Looking forward to your thoughts on this one!

I've finished Lost Gods by @TimHardieAuthor and have to say The Brotherhood of the Eagle series has soared to even greater heights. This Viking-inspired fantasy is a masterclass of epic saga craft. The gods may be lost but these books have found a welcome home in my library.

@CharlieCavendi4 @Grimdark_Mag @esmayrosalyne I second that. Great cover, great premise, great review.

@Grimdark_Mag I think we will be in agreement on this one @esmayrosalyne

It’s bloody, brutal, funny as hell, and unexpectedly tender when it hurts the most, and I have a feeling this has the potential to fill a First Law-sized hole in all of our grimdark loving hearts.  grimdarkmagazine.com/review-the-pri…

Just for fun, we ran an SPFBO11 cover contest in my Book Club Discord recently, with members nominating and then voting on their favourites. The Forgotten Dawn (art: An-Nhien Nguyen) just beat Immortal Dark (art: MiblArt) and The Sapphire Heart (art: Jeff Brown) for the win!

@TimHardieAuthor Thanks, Tim. Glad to hear the former. As to the latter ... you cold-hearted swine. 😁 I'll brace myself for another brutal read.

@TheBookScene This warms my heart on a cold January morning, although the setting for Lost Gods is only going to get colder! ❄️ Hope you enjoy this one!

I'm excited to rejoin the Brotherhood of the Eagle in Lost Gods by @TimHardieAuthor This exciting, Norse-inspired saga gives me Robin Hobb meets Giles Kristian vibes but with a distinctive narrative voice which makes me a huge fan of Tim's storytelling. Let battle commence.

@TimHardieAuthor @_LLMacRae Thanks, Tim. There's a lot to look forward to in it. Coincidentally, Lost Gods is my next read and I'm excited to rejoin the brotherhood.

@TheBookScene @_LLMacRae Terrific review. The Broken Sword is on my 2026 reading list and I'm looking forward to this one!

My review of The Broken Sword by @_LLMacRae It’s often said that home is where the heart is and I can honestly say a piece of my heart will always belong in Tassar with the Dragon Spirits gang. Spirits take me, I’m going to miss these brilliant books. goodreads.com/review/show/82…

@MrsTad @tadwilliams Exciting.

@_LLMacRae And I'm so, so glad you like my review. Thank you. It's nice to know my words can reciprocate, to even a small extent, the obvious passion you put into creating the books with some of the emotions I felt in reading them.

@TheBookScene I'm so, so glad you enjoyed the finale. I don't have the words to match what you put... I'm emotional This is all I've ever wanted people to feel when they read my books, and especially the ending. Thank you so so much for this, you don't understand how much it means 💙💙💙💙💙

@Siennafrst @HobbitHoleBooks Ha, ha. Maybe it should be the Sienna Obsession Society. SOS. Save us from the masochism.

@TheBookScene @HobbitHoleBooks Masochists unite!!

@Siennafrst Profoundly brilliant fantasy written with a stab of the heart, this is a book to delight and immerse. If you're looking for the fantastical tropes of more traditional fantasy, look elsewhere. This is a world of hard knocks and grim reality.

@CharlieCavendi4 @TimHardieAuthor 😊 Books 3 and 4 are high on my TBR for 2026.

@TheBookScene @TimHardieAuthor If it’s got your seal of approval then o know I’ll enjoy it

I’m starting a book that’s been on my TBR for far too long. Can’t wait to see what @TimHardieAuthor has in store for me

For the first time ever, the complete Malitu series is on sale for $0.99/book. There are hundreds of books on sale as a part of the r/fantasy Megasale. Don't miss out on this opportunity.

Wow. This wonderful series deserves such special, beautiful treatment. Stunning.

@aminakara Mee too. Is it a Jeff Brown cover?

@TheBookScene @BradyHunsaker Isn't it?! I love it!

Just finished this and really enjoyed it! Pretty much ended up speeding through the second half, it was so tense and gripping. I can't wait for Book 2, @BradyHunsaker!

My review of The Shadow Gate by @_LLMacRae: This series is superb escapism. It has as much spirit as its wonderful dragons and belongs in the top tier domain of fantasy fiction. goodreads.com/review/show/76…

Beautiful blue. 💙
