The Order of the Pure Moon Reflected in Water is a brilliant novella. The Order of the Pure Moon Reflected in Water by Zen Cho The Monster of Elendhaven is a story rich enough for a full-length novel yet beautiful enough for a poem – a strange, grim, and mesmerizing tale that will leave you wanting to read it again immediately to find out what you missed, which is exactly what I did, and it was even better the second time. The Monster of Elendhaven by Jennifer Giesbrecht

Betrayal, tough as all hell characters, a little flavouring of grit and a glut of unsavoury characters working towards an unsavoury goal–this has everything I and any GdM fan could want. One of the best pieces of fiction I’ve read in 2017, the Builders is a masterclass in character and story and world. His past–not his financial past, but his childhood run in with some fantastical beasts in the Devil Wood–has chased him into the biggest slaughter the world has ever lay witness to. Robert Jones joins the war to avoid a drinking debt and clean up. A Song for No Man’s Land by Andy RemicĪndy Remic has hit that feeling of horror–much like we see in All Quiet on the Western Front–with a dark fantasy angle that felt smooth and enjoyable in his novella. I can’t recommend it highly enough and I can’t wait to read more Sarah Gailey. The very fucking cool alternate history world the magnificent and engaging characters and the thoroughly enjoyable plot-this novella has it all and more.
