Another #spfbo review, and this time it's @MarkOfAScribe's Mordicax. This wonderful wee mystery novel falls somewhere between Medieval Stranger Things, Pathologic, and a kind of Enid Blyton Famous Five YA adventure. I really loved it. What did it do so well? 👇🧵

@Tallsquall Pitch your book poorly, share your cover, and tag another indie. Getting the wrong end of the stick is bad; getting the wrong end of a reptile is worse. @MikaHunter10

What our panelists thought about Mordicax by @MarkOfAScribe "Hooked by first sentence." "It's engaging from the beginning to the end of the excerpt, with good flow and pace. It is very well written." "Excellent."

Well, it's the eve of the big day. Tomorrow I'll stand by the waters of Loch Voil and marry my best friend. Most likely whilst being hounded by torrential rain, but that's the Scottish summer for you. I've been very quiet here in the lead-up, but regular service resumes soon 🥰

It's a book birthday today! The rather splendid (pardon my immodesty) reissue of The Crystal Prison, with lots of new illustrations, is out in the wild. Beware the killer that rustles through the moonlit cornfield... #TheDeptfordMice @PushkinPress

@MikaHunter10 Sorry Fenwick! This book does contain outmoded and controversial views on corvids…

Fenwick, the #InquisitiveRaven, and I have finished reading Kestrion by @MarkOfAScribe. Review follows, just so much: We enjoyed it a lot but Fenwick didn't like the highly superstitious folk saying “Never good fortune came of a bird in a house.” He truly felt offended. 🤣

@yourpaperquest 3-4k is my standard - shorter only if it’s a fast pivotal moment, and almost never longer (should be doable in a single sitting for a slowish reader like me)
