Superbly dark storytelling
Bored of the usual heroes? Give Jorg Ancrath a try - he is possibly the darkest protagonist in fantasy fiction, and yet you still find yourself rooting for him.
Excellent plot, told brilliantly and compulsive reading.

"On a distant planet, far in the future, Earth Colonists rule the world as the gods of the Hindu Pantheon. One of their number becomes Buddha to fight them. A mixture of religion and adventure and science fiction."

"This diabolical work of fiction is so complex in its structure that I remain awed by it. I have no doubt that I could read it again and again and still not get to the bottom of it."

"Apeirogon, 2020, Colum McCann’s ambitious and compelling journey into the lives of Palestinians and Israelis. Strong work, and intriguing surprise on every page, the kind of current American novel that reminds us that fiction continues to renew itself."

I'm not really one for children's fiction anymore but I bought this for my nieces to read and then decided to give it a go myself since Walliams has so much hype about his books. It was alright.
