Magical, poignant, and wholly transporting. We may damage our world but it will not be tamed.(Jackie Law) It offers a reminder that however much man tries to insulate himself with his beliefs and inventions, he remains reliant on and at the mercy of the forces of nature. I loved this story for the imagery, for the idea that such magic could exist. Loved Runemarks…a core fantasy much like the stories of David Eddings or Terry Brooks, with a cool twist on Norse mythology. Loki is a relentlessly wonderful character an amoral and capricious, but also completely psychologically plausible anti-hero, whose antics range from mischief to genocide, across 300 endlessly entertaining pages. People keep asking me what order to read the books of this series in: I think they work in any order, but officially it’s:ġ: Runemarks.

“Bold, brave and timely.” (Sarah Pinborough) Fantasy/mythpunk RUNE/Loki books: Now imagine if her powers emerged, not with puberty, but with – MENOPAUSE… Not a very happy life, but a normal, boring, suburban life in a busy part of London. Imagine if she’d lived a normal life: a house, a son, a husband, a job in an indie bookshop. Imagine if Carrie White had suppressed her paranormal abilities.
