Martin. * Malazan Empire on The Dwarves *What truly made this epic worthwhile for me however, was Heitz's unique characterization . . . The plot is complexly layered, the characters are well rounded and dynamic, and the conflict builds tension and suspense that I found my heart racing especially during the last 150 pages. While this is not a book for all readers, if you are a true lover of fantasy than The Dwarves is not to be missed * Eating YA Books on The Dwarves *Just as talented musicians can create myriad of symphonies with only 12 musical notes, Heitz demonstrates us how talented writers are able to create greatly enjoyable stories based only a few basic, well known concepts . . . The Dwarves was a pleasant surprise. * Speculative Book Review on The Dwarves *It's a really good read for fans of Dwarves specifically and High fantasy in general. I'll absolutely be reading the next three books! * Internet Book Review on The Dwarves *

Titan Books Ltd Hall of Smoke
Book SynopsisEpic fantasy featuring warrior priestesses and fickle gods at war, for readers of Brian Staveley's Chronicles of the Unhewn Throne. Hessa is an Eangi: a warrior priestess of the Goddess of War, with the power to turn an enemy's bones to dust with a scream. Banished for disobeying her goddess's command to murder a traveller, she prays for forgiveness alone on a mountainside. While she is gone, raiders raze her village and obliterate the Eangi priesthood. Grieving and alone, Hessa - the last Eangi - must find the traveller and atone for her weakness and secure her place with her loved ones in the High Halls. As clans from the north and legionaries from the south tear through her homeland, slaughtering everyone in their path Hessa strives to win back her goddess' favour. Beset by zealot soldiers, deceitful gods, and newly-awakened demons at every turn, Hessa burns her path towards redemption and revenge. But her journey reveals a harrowing truth: the gods are dying and the High Halls of the afterlife are fading. Soon Hessa's trust in her goddess weakens with every unheeded prayer. Thrust into a battle between the gods of the Old World and the New, Hessa realizes there is far more on the line than securing a life beyond her own death. Bigger, older powers slumber beneath the surface of her world. And they're about to wake up.Trade Review"Hall of Smoke is the kind of fantasy I love, filled with both high stakes and tender, nuanced human emotion. Add to that lyrical writing and intriguing world building, and you have a truly special debut. Not to be missed." Jessica Cluess, author of the Kingdom on Fire series and House of Dragons "Long gives us a flawed hero, a woman battling grief, rage and - perhaps most poignant of all - doubt. It is thrilling to stand beside Hessa as she stares into the abyss and begins to reassemble herself there. Long's writing is elegantly understated, filling out Hessa's complex world without ever stranding us - we are with her through every stumble and triumph. Hall of Smoke is ultimately a book about what it means to have your deepest illusions shattered and still scrape together the courage to begin again. A vivid and compelling debut." Lucy Holland, author of Sistersong "Hall of Smoke is a breath of fresh air. The world is unique, the fights are top-notch, and the cast is unforgettable. A dazzling, fast-paced story with clashing civilizations, squabbling gods, and an indomitable heroine caught in the center of it all, Hessa's is a tale that will grab you from the very first line and won't let you go. I can't wait to see what Long comes up with next." Genevieve Gornichec, author of The Witch's Heart "Hessa is a brilliantly written heroine, and I could easily have spent another 400 pages with her. The book's world-building is intricate and refreshingly original, and it all ramps up to a finale that is the dictionary definition of epic." Allison Epstein, author of A Tip for the Hangman "The story world was rich and real, and I have rarely read a fantasy novel that transported me like HALL OF SMOKE did. If you are a fan of myths and legends where gods and goddesses roam the earth and meddle with the poor mortals that serve them, you are in for an absolute treat with this book." M. J. Kuhn, author of Among Thieves

Like its sequel, The Lord of the Rings, it is a story that grew in the telling', and many characters and plot threads in the published text are quite different from the story J.R.R.
