Today it's the playlist / soundtrack to A Sword of Gold and Ruin, my latest novel, and I think probably my best yet in terms of literary quality.

A Woman of the Sword the playlist! Music that inspired the book. Music that's a soundtrack to the book. Some beautiful songs for children. Some rather more uncompromising howls of rage and grief.

In the Shadow of Their Dying by Michael R. Fletcher, Anna Smith Spark
Book #48 for 2025
3.5 out of 5 Stars

Review in pic and alt-text.

#fantasy #grimdark #bookskyfantasy #MichaelRFletcher #AnnaSmithSpark #InTheShadowOfTheirDying
This was fun and gross and sometimes repetitive. I would honestly love to know the number of times the words shit, piss, urine and blood were used in this story. I get that it's grimdark and they want to set a gritty tone, but it was a bit much (for me at least). It was a cool idea and the characters were interesting. The parts with the demon were written in a poetic/stream of consciousness style that imo works better the shorter it is. As it was, it seemed to get very repetitive and if I wasn't listening to it on audio I probably would have skimmed it. I'll definitely be reading more Fletcher and Spark to see if I like their longer work.
