A conflict is coming, the like of which the insect-kinden have never seen. And nothing – either within the Empire or beyond it – will stand in her way. Their Empress, the heir to two worlds, intends to claim her birthright. In the heart of the Empire, new pilots have completed their secretive training, generals are being recalled to service and armies are ready to march. In Collegium, the students argue politics, too late to turn the tide. In Solarno, the spies watch each other and ready their knives, while Myna sees the troops muster at its border and emotions run high as it vows never to be enslaved again.
MALAZAN BOOK OF THE FALLEN GOODREADS REVIEW SERIES
Shadows of the Apt is undoubtedly one of my favourite fantasy series so for those of you who have yet to discover this series, it comes highly recommended! I certainly cannot wait to start this one.Īll is in turmoil as the world moves towards war. I’ve been looking forward to reading The Air War ever since I finished its predecessor, Heirs of the Blade. Remember to check The Friday Face-Off Feature Page for upcoming themes Which cover wins your vote this week? Have a cover of your own? – Post the link below! I love the strong orange red glow of the sun which illuminates the figures face, the surrounding landscape and the birds which can be seen in flight and I love the wisps of smoke that come off the sheathed sword.
Focused on the back of a central, sword-bearing figure, this cover is bold, colourful and immediately draws the eye. The Subterranean Press cover, however, is an entirely different creation. I love how the mist and the clouds filter to the dark black of the backdrop, and how realistically the landscape is rendered and I love how the moon in the background lights the scene, creating an eerie green glow. Bathed in green light, with a landscape shrouded in mist, the crumbling stone tower is a strong focal point, with the single illuminated window drawing the eye. The Tor cover, whilst not overtly eye-catching, creates a pleasing a fantastical composition. Take a look and see which cover wins your vote this week!
