Book reviews

Strong from the Green Sowa is a collection of stories from writers that we already know and love well. So something like the Hard Horde extended to non- genre prose. Not necessarily a "new feminist voice", certainly an interesting, diverse anthology under the hashtag "we read the authors".

After the last series about Virion's adventures ended, it was rather clear that sooner or later we will see its continuation.

If you know Gołkowski from Komornik or Siberpunk , this series will surprise you a lot. She is strict and realistic. In turn, if you've read any volume of Steel Rats, you probably know more or less what to expect from the finally revealed history of the most spooky fort of World War II ...

Reaching for youth books that promise to be urban fantasy, I expect exciting action scenes, interesting paranormal plots, investigations and (what should I have started with) well-written characters. Unfortunately, not all of them - including the novelty by Bianka Iosivoni and Laura Kneidl - meet these quite specific requirements ...

A stolen phone, a door to a wax world, a mysterious tower, a girl locked in a cabinet ... What do all these things have in common? Of course, a ghastly train that is sure to take all 9+ readers on a secret journey.

If you've heard about Henry H. Jeff's series before, you may have heard about the inevitable similarity between the title character, JK Rowling, and Max McDaniels, the protagonist of the novel. Whatever the case, there is a grain of truth in every message, but don't be afraid to read The Tapestry. Defenders of the Rowan aside from possible inspirations.

Pieśni Chołów is a very Polish fantasy - there are Janusz and Grażyna, there is cynicism, there is a village, there is a sarcastic scientist from the great world who does not understand strange local customs and is for the better. There is an intertwining of ancient wisdom and godliness with modern ignorance. It is "when you fear it to God." There is "don't judge a book by its cover." After...

The time has come for a new edition of the first of three Children of the Old Gods  , The Laughter of the Devil.  The volume appeared on bookstore counters in 2019 thanks to the Kłobok publishing house. Currently, the novel, supervised by Zysk i S-ka, is revised and changed. This is the debut of the author - Agnieszka Miela - in the field of fantasy and she did not too badly.

Isabel Sterling's debut novel is based on well-known patterns, but, importantly, it does not fully disqualify her. The author of the novel These witches do not burn boldly tried to cast a spell on the readers and encourage them to read. Was it worth it? I hope this review will help you find the answer to that question.

No That Bad Is, is the latest work of Marcin Mortka, a writer of great merit in Polish fantasy literature. We will find here everything that a good fantasy story should contain, i.e. magic, dark powers, action probably located in the Middle Ages, an exceptional main character, different from others and experiencing internal dilemmas, dwarves, elves, conspiratorial rulers. We have a journey during...
