Messenger’s Legacy is due to come out in a few days time, and one of the first reviews has been posted! Marc Aplin of Fantasy Faction begins his review by considering the increased popularity of novellas in the fantasy book genre. Peat has consistently published a novella between each main Demon Cycle novel, highlighting stories and POVs the reader might not get otherwise. This can be a special opportunity for fans to immerse themselves further into world of a series and learn more about about what’s happening just outside the frame of the main series.

Check out the full review here.

One of the things I don’t think Peter gets quite enough credit for is the readability of his prose. Often fantasy novels can take a while to get into, or at least adjust to, due to many writers choosing to use a more grandiose tone/voice. However, I’ve always found Peter’s work to be as easy to dip in and out of as other modern fantasy authors like Brent Weeks and Brandon Sanderson – this novella is no different. The thing that makes this all the more impressive is that Peter has invented a ton of new words unique to his societies (the second book needed a glossary), but because he has done it slowly and carefully we never feel lost or overwhelmed. There was never a point in this novella that the language use felt self indulgent, instead there is just enough foreign words in there to make Peter’s world feel deep, rich and authentic.

The limited edition, with only 750 copies printed, will be signed and numbered, leather bound and will feature a cover by Vincent Chong. The trade cloth bound edition with feature a cover by Lauren K. Cannon.  Both versions contain beautiful interior illustrations by artist Lauren K. Cannon.
