Hi everyone! Petrik from Novel Notions here.
We have an exciting post today. Novel Notions will be hosting the exclusive cover reveal to A Gamble of Gods by Mitriel Fayoowd. This is the author’s debut, and it is the first book in The Order of the Dragon series. For those of you who don’t know, Mitriel has been Mark Lawrence’s beta reader for 8 years now. I’ve known the author for years, and it’s super cool to witness her debut novel nearing its release date soon. I haven’t got the chance to read this book to its completion yet, but from what I’ve read so far, it has been great. I’m looking forward to reading this novel to the end. Without further ado, here’s the cover reveal to A Gamble of Gods by Mitriel Faywood!

Until the Last by Mike Shackle
My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars
Series: The Last War (Book #3 of 3)
Genre: Fantasy, Epic fantasy, Grimdark Fantasy

The Last War is over. Another favorite ongoing series concluded.
The Last War trilogy by Mike Shackle has been one of my favorite ongoing series since I read both We Are the Dead and A Fool’s Hope in 2020. Now that it’s finished, I can safely say this has become one of my favorite fantasy trilogies. And it is undoubtedly one of the most underrated fantasy series out there. Despite talking and shouting about this series so many times for the past two years, it seems like I still need to shout about it more because it seriously deserves so much more recognition. It is shocking how relatively few fantasy readers talk about this trilogy. I don’t think you can go wrong with reading The Last War trilogy if you love reading a war story or military fantasy series. Especially if you love reading a fantasy series that revolves around ordinary people rising up to do everything they can to survive and fight back. At all costs. …

The Veiled Throne by Ken Liu
My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars
Series: The Dandelion Dynasty (Book #3 of 4)
Genre: Fantasy, Epic Fantasy, Silkpunk
Pages: 1008 pages (Hardcover Edition)
Published: 7th December 2021 by Saga Press (US) & 11th November 2021 by Head of Zeus (UK)
The Veiled Throne is a marvelous story. It is a unique and superbly-written first half to the concluding installment of The Dandelion Dynasty.
“Though each individual mortal experiences life for but a score of years, they can draw upon a store of stories left by all their forbearers. The race of humankind grows toward infinity, even as the nature of each individual is limited. Nature may describe tendencies and circumscribe potentialities, but it is within the power of each soul to nurture itself for another life, to imagine a course not taken, to strive for a different view. Through that yearning by the finite for the infinite, the portraits painted by all the mortal eyes may yet piece together a grander truth than our divine understanding.”
