A few years ago, Robert Jackson Bennett earned my undying love with his Divine Cities trilogy - an entertaining and engaging fantasy romp that I still return to once a year as comfort reading. I was understandably excited when he released Foundryside, the start of a wholly new trilogy. I read Foundryside when it initially came out during my review hiatus, but I was inspired to re-read by the release of the sequel, Shorefall. So let’s chat about the Founders trilogy.
It's that time of year, readers - the time of lists and recaps, of bests and worsts. Below are my top ten SFF books of 2017!
And with this book, thus concludes one of my absolute favorite modern fantasy series. From start to finish, the Divine Cities books are gems of worldbuilding and memorable characters, so let's talk about that finish.
Since I forgot to write a Best Of list for 2016, I decided to put together a list of all the books I'm super excited about this year. Most of them are sequels to books I've read previously (I'm sure I will find some lovely new authors and books to sweep me off my feet at some point), but these are the books currently at the shut-up-and-take-my-money level of excitement.
Stop. Go read Robert Jackson Bennett's City of Stairs. I'll wait. Are you done? OK, good. Now that you've read what was quite possibly my favorite fantasy novel of the last five years, we can discuss its sequel and the novel that may have supplanted it.
