Today on @thefantasyhive.bsky.social I’m reviewing the conclusion to the Tales of the Plains trilogy, The Iron Road by @davewragg.com “I was reminded of why I love Wragg’s books so much, they simply bring me joy.” Review link: fantasy-hive.co.uk/2025/11/the-...

🙌🏽 This is the fantasy series I’m recommending to everyone! THE IRON ROAD by @davewragg.com is 5 star - what a finale to Tales of the Plain! 🤩 Perfect for fans who love rebellion, Pratchett style banter & action adventure. I laughed, I cried, I hid behind my hands 🫣 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

@davewragg.com Oy oy. I'm late saying hi on here - so 1) Hello! o/ 2) Was good to meet you in Leeds the other week! and 3) The Hunters has added 'piss-fingered necrophile' to my vocabulary of insults. Thank you for this, I will use it irresponsibly. o7

I finally finished ‘The Iron Road’ by @davewragg.com ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recommended the series & photographed it every chance I got at World Fantasycon! Even went to the panel on Writing for Laughs & spoke briefly to Dave, but then avoided him so as not to inadvertently get spoilers to the ending 🤣 very cool 👌🏽

Thanks @BritFantasySoc.bsky.social for making #WorldFantasyCon accessible by streaming it!👏🐉 Some author panel highlights: ✨British Urban Fantasy ✨Occult Adventures ✨Blending the Genres ✨Playing for Laughs in SFF (incl @Davidwragg.com & BSF winner @Franceswrites.bsky.social) Feeling inspired ✍️🔮

Happy Halloween! 🎃 Here’s my October spooky reading wrap up! Favourite of the month was House of Splinters by @spookypurcell.bsky.social Going into November I’ll be finishing off The Iron Road by @davewragg.com and also starting The Keeper of Magical Things by @julieleong.bsky.social

How on earth did this one manage to pass me by? The Iron Road, by @davewragg.com. Discovered it in Waterstones in hardback from HarperVoyager. I love this series so much

My copy of The Iron Road by @davewragg.com arrived today from @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social 🤩 I’m nearly 80% finished on the arc but I can finish it off in style 👌🏽 I’ve really enjoyed it! I don’t want it to end, particularly as I am fearing greatly for the longevity of my fave characters atm!

Currently reading The Autumn Springs Retirement Home Massacre by @pfracassi.bsky.social - so brutal! I’m dreading who will be the next victim 🫣 I’m hooked! Also reading The Iron Road by @davewragg.com - final book in The Tales from the Plains trilogy. I’m sad to say goodbye to Ree & Javani 😭

Next up for #drawtober is spellbound princess! This has got several loving references to one of my all time favourite illustrators, Harry Clarke, and also Sergio Toppi. I’ve included some process photos - the final work is in pen and ink on paper, but the planning sketch was digital. See it at WFC!

VOYAGE OF THE DAMNED was a stellar debut, but THE BONE DOOR is something else. Opening in May! 🐰🦴☠️

A huge thank you to @davewragg.com for sending me these gorgeous special edition hardbacks of The Tales of the Plains trilogy published by @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social I’ve read The Hunters & The Company of the Wolf & loved both. I can’t wait to read Iron Road & see how it ends! Would recommend!

I had a total blast reading & even greater one on sharing my thoughts on this fun roller-coaster ride - @davewragg.com knocks it out of the park, dealing with a life governed by violence & the possible impacts of it across relationships....

See, Vinay gets it

Vinay returned to David Wragg's Tales of the Plains series for the last time with the final instalment THE IRON ROAD: "a book that has it all... This is a very strong book and caps what is a fantastic series" Read more: tinyurl.com/4fve8ac2 @davewragg.com

Is the midlist DYING? 💀 In Ep. 171, guest author @davewragg.com and co-hosts @adrianmgibson.bsky.social @mjkuhnbooks.bsky.social & Greta Kelly talk about the current state of “the midlist” and whether it will survive. Stream/download/watch Ep. 171: linktr.ee/SFFAddicts youtu.be/c84fOwvYxqE?...

One of my favourite recent trilogies is now complete. If you love low-fantasy, high-stakes, maximum-snark stories, start with The Hunters and then get the rest. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll learn some interesting new swears.
