The Inside Story of the British Bureau for the Arcane The Dark Elf Dynasty File by Phil Parker
Worldbuilding: Aided the story
Plot: Straightforward Characters: Roles are clear
Storytelling: Descriptive
Immersion: Didn’t want to put the book down Emotional Response: Strong emotions
Thought Provoking: Did some research after reading
Cover: Matches the story well Such an original and fresh take on fantasy - a secret organisation like Britain's MI5! Loved the dark main character whose loyalty is tested, loved the folklore too. Lots of fun to read |

The Bastard from Fairyland by Phil Parker
Worldbuilding: Aided the story
Plot: Straightforward Characters: Roles are clear
Storytelling: Descriptive
Immersion: Didn’t want to put the book down Emotional Response: Strong emotions
Thought Provoking: Did some research after reading
Cover: Matches the story well Loved this story for its use of Celtic myth and Arthurian legend. The main character, Robin Goodfellow, is a hardened, bitter fae warrior banished to live with human beings. He's also a psychopath who kills when his 'other self' takes over, brilliant characterisation |
