Review: Dark, gritty and Book One from a new fantasy talent
Rating: 5 out of 5

Oblivion's Forge is the first book in a dark new series from Simon Williams.  Don't let that stop you: more volumes are in the works.  Vornen, our hero, grabs you by the throat from the very first page.  This series isn't for the faint of heart; it's respectful of its heroic fiction heritage; people get hurt and suffer and learn and grow.  Lyrical at times, often gritty, the prose is propulsive, our hero believable, and the world evoked with style and verve.  Welcome Simon Williams to your bookshelf.  You won't be disappointed.
