Another @joeabercrombie.com. Book three of a sequence (which actually I think the other might have been) but perhaps worth banking. www.amazon.co.uk/Half-War-Sha...

Excalibur by Bernard Cornwall. Historically kind of accurate Arthurian with one of the best fakeouts I've ever read in such books. www.amazon.co.uk/Excalibur-No...

And a @scalzi.com . There's always a Scalzi in the sale. Book two of an entertaining trilogy. Worth reading, worth getting since it's cheap and watching for the others to come up. www.amazon.co.uk/Consuming-Fi...

And another @aptshadow.bsky.social, Dragonfly Falling, the second of the Shadows of the Apt series. Confess I have not read this, but I have massive respect for Adrian's writing and so should, I'm just a bit scared of starting a 10 part series. www.amazon.co.uk/Dragonfly-Fa...

Red Sonja: Consumed by @gailsimone.bsky.social. Not read it, not really my thing, but I've enjoyed Gail's other worth, so if you like barbarians, give it a try. www.amazon.co.uk/Red-Sonja-Co...

Norse Myths by Kevin Crossley-Holland. Another of the respect the author, haven't read this one school. But everyone should have at least one Norse Myth book to hand, and ideally not NG's. www.amazon.co.uk/Penguin-Book...

Bridge by @laurenbeukes.com www.amazon.co.uk/Bridge-dazzl... Fairly new, which is my excuse for not reading it yet, but I've loved other works of hers (yay! Sloth!) so going onto the TBR pile.

Bitter Seeds by Ian Tregillis. I remember this getting some buzz as kind of realistic WW2 X-Men. I've been watching for it coming up cheap for some time. www.amazon.co.uk/Bitter-Seeds...

Falling Down by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan. Free on audible with prime. I know nothing about this save that GdT is worth looking at, did I mention free, and there are five more in the series currently 99p. Might be trash, but free trash if that. www.amazon.co.uk/Falling-Down...
