In this dawning age of strong, complex heroines — characters like Jessica Jones, and Supergirl and, of course, Katniss Everdeen — Byron Gillan introduces us to the next great warrior heroines, and I, for one, can’t wait to see how these fierce fighters turn out. Gillan has concocted a complex dystopian future where humanity itself is at stake. His imagination soars, and the writing flows effortlessly, with each chapter leaving me longing to know more about this wildly imagined future. You should pre-order Children Of The Forest!

what happens when you combine a brilliantly interesting premise with good cover art, elegant prose, and tireless world building? Why, you get this book!This book tells the story of a young warrior princess that is NOT trapped in a tower and are most certainly NOT going to be rescued by a dashing prince coming out nowhere. This is an story that challenges the fantasy tropes and keeps the readers engaged. I would highly recommend this book as an addition to one's bookshelf.

I love this! A high fantasy novel with rich world building reminiscent of Tolkien -- and with airships! Beric's inner narrative stands out strong on the backdrop of a world twisted by conflict, and Byron Gillan does a great job of anchoring us in the immediacy of it with rich, vivid description, while allowing the details of his world to keep through just enough, like ice bergs. Totally recommended for any lover of fantasy!

Very, very, VERY rarely do you meet a book that instantly clicks with you and makes you go "Yes. Yes, this is the book that I want to currently be obsessed with." This happens to be one of those books. We are so excited to read more, so we can't wait for this to be published!

"Children of the Forest" is the best kind of sci-fi. It's a book that has something to say about a real issue that troubles our real world, but it approaches it through the lens of fiction. Nin is a valuable world, and two factions vie for control of its resources. The struggle between them promises to be electrifying, and the fact that author Byron Gillan knows how to craft some truly searing imagery and cook up a roiling conflict with his expert wordplay across every page only draws me deeper into "Children of the Forest." I cannot wait to get the final.
