After much deliberation, the Fantasy-Faction reviewing team has narrowed down the entries in our group to seven. Our task now is to read and discuss these books more closely, with a view to picking a winner. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: the standard across all the books we’ve looked at was […]
