Indie Fantasy Book Reviews
Championing the underdogs
There are so many great indie fantasy books out there! I’ve always enjoyed reading fantasy stories, but I just felt like I get the same recommendations from every booktuber out there. So I hope to shine a light on the hidden gems in the indie fantasy space.
Kings of Paradise Book Review
This is the first book in the Ash and Sand trilogy by Richard Nell. It’s written in third person and the story follows two main POVs in third person, with a few other random POVs sprinkled throughout.
Of Blood and Fire Book Review
If I had to describe this book, I think it would be a cross between Malice and Eragon. The story has elements of coming of age, the reluctant hero, and chosen one vibes.
Sword of Kaigen Book Review
This book is set in a world inspired by Japanese culture. It definitely has samurai vibes, which I love. The story takes place in a remote mountain village, where powerful warriors defend their homeland using elemental magic. It’s interesting because as the world is modernizing, this village is entrenched in their traditions. I think of it like, what if I told you the Amish had the most powerful warriors in the world, responsible for protecting us against any initial invasion.
