    On Goats and Swords
  

*by D***1 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 June 2016*

The Fantasy genre is diverse, there are some fantastic epic novels, diverse and interesting novels, great standalone novels and stuff I would rather not read.  When I first came across Peter Newman, I knew we were in for something special.  His fist novel The Vagrant has gone down as one the best books I have ever read and I was jumping for joy when a new book was announced in the same universe.The Malice is hands down a brilliant and well written fantasy novel, Peter Newman's compelling writing style is also what makes the series so compelling and awesome.  Written in the second person which I will admit might make it difficult for some coming in to this series (I will admit it was a challenge), this is what makes the world and story Newman writes about so compelling.The Malice continues the story established in The Vagrant, the breech that has remained quiet after the events told in that story stirs and a new evil is rising.  The Malice (a awesome and scary sword) stirs but it's owner has a life that he cannot ignore so another answers the call, her name is Vesper.  Be prepared for a awesome story that is relentless and exciting and tense, make no mistakes this is a story of the end the world with mankind struggling to survive.The world that Peter Newman has created is compelling, dangerous and exiting, humanity is on the back foot, but there is hope, it is fleeting but it is there.  I personally love novels that deal with this scenario, the humanity shown by characters and the hopes and fears are on full display and it truly makes for some excellent story making and telling.  The Malice is a novel that I highly recommend, and if you have not read anything by Peter Newman then what the hell are you waiting for??!!I always try to keep my reviews spoiler free as I wouldn't want my reading of any fantasy novel spoiled.

    Excellent Monsters!
  

*by P***. on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 October 2018*

Anybody can create monsters. But believable, authentic-feeling monsters that can make you skin crawl, that's more of a challenge. And monsters that were once people and who still retain traces of their humanity (not always in a good way) - that's a fine bit of artistry.Peter Newman makes dozens of them, and makes them into full-blown characters. And he makes his humans equally real, with full quota's of vulnerability, weakness and nobility.(He's also quite good with goats).As in the first book of his series, an unlikely assortment of possible heroes journey across a dangerous and tainted world. However, this time they are not trying to escape from it, but to get to the heart of it. It's an enthralling journey. Along the way, you can consider the question of what makes a monster evil, and what is evil anyway. Not always as obvious as you might think. But you can skip the deep questions and just enjoy the vivid scenery and well developed plot.You'll also get some fascinating insights into the deep past of his world which will explain some of what is happening. But not everything - I'm looking forward to reading the final book of the trilogy which I hope will have a very satisfying denouement!

If you haven’t read The Vagrant, this review may contain spoilers. Also, if you haven’t read The Vagrant…go and read it!I caught Fantasy-Faction saying they weren’t sure who to compare Peter Newman to. Well, for me, it’s China Mieville. It’s a weird, alien world with intriguing characters, twisted plots and gripping storylines. Nothing’s conventional, nothing’s cliché, and I love it.The Malice isn’t quite as good as The Vagrant…but only in the sense that The Vagrant was a 5*, and this is 4.5*. It just doesn’t have that linear plotline, that gripping tension, that made me read The Vagrant from end to end in one sitting. But it’s as good for characters and for world-building, and I read it in two halves, so…it only loses a little! It’s as enthralling and as entertaining as the first.It’s wonderful to see more of Vesper, and more of the same world we saw in The Vagrant. Vesper travels through the same territories, the same landscapes, as she heads towards the Breach – but her reactions are different, and I think that’s what I love most about this book. Vesper is a very different character to The Vagrant, and even with the Malice on her back, she carves her own path through the politics and problems that she encounters.We also get more of the history behind the Shining City and the world; I’m really hoping this will all tie into the next book in the series, The Seven, released in April.If you loved The Vagrant, you’ll love The Malice – and if you haven’t read either and want unique, character-filled, heart-tugging fantasy in a truly unique world…read these.
