| 9 / 10 | Sleeper | Both epic and petty, it feels almost like a (barely-)Celtic version of the Greek myths. The dysfunctional family portrait gives it a modern edge, and is one of the best elements. The descriptive prose is also outstanding (especially when shadow walking). |
| 9 / 10 | Thanuir | An excellent book with both a very intriguing view of the world and interesting characters. |
