|summary=The best fantasy series I'm currently reading - perhaps the best I've ever read - somehow manages to get better. Outstanding, an absolute must read. Daniel Abraham popped into Bookbag Towers to [[The Interview: Bookbag Talks To Daniel Abraham|chat to us]].

As ever, Abraham's subtle world-building is great, while his dialogue is incredibly quotable and just leaps off the page - particularly the exchanges between Marcus and Kit. The plot is fascinating, with twists and turns that you can't see coming but you keep thinking you should have been able to, and as far as epic fantasies go, this is either the best around or incredibly close to it. My favourite adult book of the year so far, hands down. I can't wait for book four!
Massive recommendation, as you can probably tell. We also have a recommendation for [[The Widow's House (Dagger and the Coin) by Daniel Abraham]].
For more epic fantasy, I love NK Jemisin's Kingdom's series, starting with [[The Hundred-Thousand Kingdoms (Inheritance Trilogy) by N K Jemisin|The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms]], and the superb teen series [[Wereworld: Rise of the Wolf by Curtis Jobling]] is so wonderful that it will definitely appeal to adults.
