The Last Philosopher is a book set in a world of magick, sorcerers, politics and new creatures. The maps accompanied with the various quotes provided for us make it feel as if you are in the story watching as it all unfolds before your eyes. Not only that, but the book is written with rich diction and some humour as well.

We are introduced to the character of Herschel and we read of his journey cross the desert. He has escaped prison and we read of all his different experiences and how he persevered for months. The people he comes across are all introduced with ease and their accents are even outlined in the dialogue, something which a reader can appreciate greatly.

More about Empris and specifics of the world we have been immersed into are explained bit by bit, never hurriedly and information is never given in an overwhelming amount. We uncover new things slowly and in awell-paced manner. It's also very interesting to read about the characters’ thoughts as well as learn the different customs of the people in this book.

I like how the author was able to not lose the plot or the storyline along the way. Instead, they managed to keep us interested to the very end. The Last Philosopher is written with great detail and vivid descriptions that allow you to see things that have been described as if they are right in front of you.

For those who are interested in science fantasy books, I can highly
recommend this one to you.

| swear to h*ck, if I have to explain the difference between Science Fiction and Fantasy again, I will literally be so glad to help because learning is awesome and those two genres are my favorite.

(Left) The cover of Legacy of Newts, by Owen Tyme.

In the background dawn, as seen from space, above a blue world.

In the foreground is a line drawing of a red spotted newt, in white. The lines of the newt are outlined in black, to help it stand out. The interior of the line drawing has been filled with the image of a spiral galaxy in red, orange and yellow, with a blue color that shades to white at the center, which lines up with the newt's head. The galaxy almost looks like fire.

(Right) The background is a blue and orange nebula, with the following text over it:

“You gotta be real strong, real bright, real quick, or real lucky to survive drawing *attention*. Which are you?”

“I’m quick, Amelia is bright, Marta is strong and all three of us have been lucky, after a fashion: if we didn’t have bad luck, then I suppose we wouldn’t have any luck at all.”

(Left) The cover of Fey Fighters, by Owen Tyme.

The background is the stars of space, with nebula-like clouds, in blue. This has been divided into jigsaw puzzle pieces by dark lines marking the lines between pieces.

The foreground features an enormous, stylized phoenix, which is composed of fire. The phoenix looms over an Earth-like world heavily obscured by cloud cover.

(Right) The same world from the cover orbits a purple gas giant, with a stream of flame above it, which may be the phoenix, with the following text over the top:

“We’re in a human-made, goblin-enchanted spacecraft, powered by a dryad that’s under the mistaken impression she’s a nuclear reactor, half-piloted by a pixie and half-piloted by a human.”

“Is there anywhere we can go we won’t be shot on sight?”

(Left) The cover of Stone Prophet, by Owen Tyme.

At the center is a hexagonal coin with a golden appearance,. That bears a watercolor painting of a woman's face, which drips paint as if it were fresh.

Following the edges of the coin, the background is divided by a spiral of black lines into six images representing vital pieces of the titular stone prophet.

Upper right is an attractive woman with blue eyes and blond hair that's almost white. She stands in place of Memory.

Right is an eye with a blue iris surrounded by blue skin and golden decorations, representing Vision.

Lower right is a hooded woman in darkness, partially illuminated by a purple triangle that magically restrains her. She is Skill.

Lower left is a heart made of and resting in blue sand, with yellow light inside. That shines through cracks, hinting at fragility. This is Emotion.

Left is a gray sphere covered in black zeros and ones. More zeros and ones lay over the top, in blurred white. This is Reason.

Upper Left is a brass statue of justice, wearing a robe and blindfold. She holds a sword and scales. Behind her are the stars of space. This is Heart.

<p>Yesterday I hit the Kickstarter launch button for my literary fantasy novel Widdershins and felt like Kára’s story had taken flight yet again. This jubilant unknown drove the of writing the novel; I had no idea initially how high she was flying—what full, Beltane moonlight guided her.</p><p>In 13 minutes the campaign was fully funded. I’m amazed. Three tiers are now gone but there are several still available! <a href="/tags/speculativefiction/" rel="tag">#speculativefiction</a> <a href="/tags/orkney/" rel="tag">#orkney</a> <a href="/tags/scotland/" rel="tag">#scotland</a> <a href="/tags/fantasy/" rel="tag">#fantasy</a> <a href="/tags/witches/" rel="tag">#witches</a></p>

A floral background in dark blue with two covers of Widdershins, one is the blue and tan swirling illustration and the other is the foil cover. Bages say funded on 13 minutes & Kickstarter projects we love.

(Left) The cover of Troll Song, by Owen Tyme, Illustrated by Ryan Johnson.

There's a woman in mud spattered white, leather armor crossing a pair of short swords against the neck of a terrified, shirtless dwarf.

The woman has white hair and a darker skin tone on the left side of her face. Her left eye is green and her right eye is blue.

The dwarf's hair and beard are blond.

The background is a green forest, with some flowers among the tall grass.

(Right) The background is a snow-covered forest, with a pair of dark silhouettes in it, one small and the other large, like a giant. The smaller silhouette is of a young woman walking away and the interior is filled with musical symbols, in green, white and two shades of blue. The larger silhouette is a woman wielding two swords and the interior is full of blood spatter. The larger one appears to be chasing the smaller one.

The following text is laid over the scene:

“I can’t die until Lyra takes her last breath! She’ll regret betraying her sisters!”

“There’s no price I won’t pay to see that happen, no pain I won’t endure and I’d sacrifice the whole world to seal her fate!”

(Left) The cover of Stone Prophet, by Owen Tyme.

At the center is a hexagonal coin with a golden appearance,. That bears a watercolor painting of a woman's face, which drips paint as if it were fresh.

Following the edges of the coin, the background is divided by a spiral of black lines into six images representing vital pieces of the titular stone prophet.

Upper right is an attractive woman with blue eyes and blond hair that's almost white. She stands in place of Memory.

Right is an eye with a blue iris surrounded by blue skin and golden decorations, representing Vision.

Lower right is a hooded woman in darkness, partially illuminated by a purple triangle that magically restrains her. She is Skill.

Lower left is a heart made of and resting in blue sand, with yellow light inside. That shines through cracks, hinting at fragility. This is Emotion.

Left is a gray sphere covered in black zeros and ones. More zeros and ones lay over the top, in blurred white. This is Reason.

Upper Left is a brass statue of justice, wearing a robe and blindfold. She holds a sword and scales. Behind her are the stars of space. This is Heart.

(Right) The same attractive woman from the upper right section of the cover, looking right at the viewer. The following quote frames her face, above and below:

“Does the Leader make the hard choices, or do the hard choices make the Leader?”

“Will she do what must be done, for the good of all?”
