We Ride the Storm by Devin Madson
We Ride the Storm is a strong, incredible even, first book, which builds up the conflict and leaves plenty of questions to be answered in later books. It's a bloody, character driven, headless... err, endless fun. Devin Madson's voice is one worth listening to in the cacophony of the Fantasy genre, and I personally can't wait to see how far she will get with the Reborn Empire series. Hopefully not too many heads will fall in her wake.

Priest of Bones by Peter McLean
Priest of Bones deserves all the hype it got. If you ever wondered what would happen if you mixed a priest and the Godfather, then you can finally get your answer. Priest of Bones is an unputdownable character driven fantasy about organised crime, magic, political intrigue and a world left by the gods. I already can't wait for the sequel, Priest of Lies to learn what happens to these lovely rogues called Pious Men next.
