The Deathless by Peter Newman
Fantasy Fiction has an ever-evolving nature. Throughout the years there has been a number of prominent authors who had the ability to alter its natural course. Some of them heavily influenced the genre to the point that whole new sub-genres were created, and others nudged it to a new direction ever so slightly that was barely even noticeable, but helped modernize the genre all the same. Peter Newman is one of the latest.

The Seven (The Vagrant, #3)
To publish your debut and manage to make it stand out among a myriad of other fantasy books isn’t an easy feat.
To follow up in its success with a second installment which will be as good as the first and without suffering the middle-book syndrome is even harder.
But to close the series, tie all loose ends, provide a satisfying ending as well as a crave for more, and most of all, avoid anticlimax, requires a vast amount of talent. Not only does Peter Newman succeed in doing so, but he also teaches you how it’s done.

The Vagrant (The Vagrant, #1)
Read from May 22 to 25, 2016
The Vagrant is an interesting format, and not one that you see very often, but very well executed, with multi-leveled characters & exciting action set pieces. The writing is solid, well-crafted, and in no rush.
