‘The Priory Of The Orange Tree’ by Samantha Shannon (Bloomsbury Publishing, 2019) is a gem of literature in the fantasy genre. I was more than three quarters through this exquisite hardback novel, when I became too fragile to hold its weight. Fortunately, Bendigo is brimming with bookshops, so I bought myself a paperback version. My second photo here shows both editions side by side, just to prove my claim that mortality (a combo of arthritis and cardiac) is the only reason for my replacing the heavier volume. Front cover art is the same, and among my favourite fantasy book jacket illustrations. Loving the contrast of the blue dragon with swirling orange that’s almost yellow, like a Ukrainian sunflower. Lush language, diverse characters and epic world building that’s both intricate and expansive, make this novel an unforgettable imaginative trip. So I’m really glad to share this magnificent tome with other keen fantasy folk. Over 800 pages of sheer bliss!

- The Art of Dragon Age Inquisition, preloved hardcover book‘The Art of Dragon Age Inquisition’ celebrates an immersive roleplaying fantasy of epic scale, so to speak. This magnificent hardcover book created by Bioware, published in 2014, is in very good condition, brimming with never-before-seen art. There are slight crinkles at the corners. My favourite aspect of this tome is the spacious underworld, with its mossy rocks, tangled roots and grandeur, far more subtle than the more cartoonish style of some game illustrations.
