Lynx is a great lead character - not the buff young hero one often finds in such books, but a tired, paunchy, battleworn adventurer who does what he has to do in order to survive. Combine that with brilliant female characters such as Kas and Toil, and a compelling cast behind them, who are deftly drawn and provide much of the tension and humour that make this a great read.
Fun, fast and thrilling, ''Stranger of Tempest'' comes highly recommended - more please! Many thanks to the publisher for the copy. For further reading, I'd give [[Uprooted by Naomi Novik]] a try. Brilliant characters combined with a clever plot that harkens back to traditional fairy tales, yet brings them bang up to date with wonderful new twists. One of The Bookbag's Best Fantasy Books of 2015, and a personal favourite. We also have a review of [[Princess of Blood by Tom Lloyd]].
