Been reading a book launching around the same time as Shadow of Legends - The Tethered God by Noah Brisk.
Grim, epic, and economical in equal measure, it's a fantastic debut thus far. Keep an eye out for it, Abercrombie & Lawrence fans!

Book 2 of The Dragonforged Saga is coming right along! I'm up to 50k words in it now and still going strong.
That's likely around one-fith done..but it may just be longer!
In the meantime, most of you still have the first book to enjoy :) Keep your eyes peeled for Shadow of Legends on Sept. 26th!
