Praise for Godblind "
Godblind is Anna Stephens' debut, and it
writes her name in blood on the roster of masters of grimdark alongside the likes of Mark Lawrence and Joe Abercrombie . . . This is a grimdark fantasy that truly lives up to the name."--
B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog "
A brilliantly brutal debut from an exciting new voice in dark fantasy. Highly recommended!"--Michael R. Fletcher, author of
Swarm and Steel and
Beyond Redemption "Something new, something special. Something that will excite you and keep you coming back for more . . .
takes everything you have come to know and like, and doesn't just raise the bar, it takes a step to the side and puts up its own bar."--
Fantasy Book Critic "Anna Stephens is
easily one of the most exciting début fantasy authors of 2017. Sometimes you get a book that simply nails a particular genre to the wall and gets everything right.
Godblind is
a triumph of grimdark fantasy."--
Starburst Magazine,
10/10 "
Thrilling, unrelenting and a brilliantly presented debut that lets readers walk on the darkest plains visited in the fantasy genre.

Fantasy Book Review "
A delicious journey . . . Has all the signs of being a sensational series."-- SFX 5/5 review "
The grimdark debut of the year. . . . an excellent debut and
the starting point of a promising author that won't take long to be a household name."--
Booknest.EU "
Dark fantasy at its very best . . . a book that once you are in it you cannot escape it until you are done, nor would you want to.
Highly Highly Recommended."--
Liz Loves Books "There aren't enough words to convey how much I loved this book.
This might be my favourite book of 2017, but it's also shot right to one of my favourite books ever. . . . everything you could possibly want from a fantasy novel."--
The Bibliophile Chronicles "
Move over Abercrombie and Lawrence! You too, Fletcher. . . . Here at last we have
a true GrimDark book, written by a female author that can not only stand up to the male competition, but also kick it in the balls! . . . Brilliant."--
The Queen of Blades, 9/10
