Critics Review
Swainston’s third novel is an impressive illustration of how fantasy does not have to be imitation Tolkien. - The Guardian
The Modern World is another welcome glimpse into a fantasy world so aggressive it could knock seven shades of Hell out of most entries in the genre. We can’t recommend it highly enough. - SFXSteph Swainston’s writing is as elegantly superior to most other fantasy as a samurai sword is to a flint daggerHonest-to-god unputdownable. A blistering debut (THE YEAR OF OUR WAR)About The Author
