Who is Kayla Edwards?

Gods and monsters in the same city, a house of devils behind them: Kayla Edwards is not writing at a modest scale. Twenty-five and a half hours makes City of Gods and Monsters one of the more demanding entries on the fantasy shelf, and demanding is clearly the intention.

Length like that changes the reading experience. A world gets built properly, factions acquire histories, and a romance running through it has time to become complicated rather than simply declared. Fantasy, romance and speculative fiction all lay claim to the title, which suggests a story untroubled by the boundaries between them.

What our catalogue holds is the fiction, and fiction on this scale tends to come from someone who trusts their readers to stay the course.

Wen Ross narrates a very long book, which in immersive fantasy is the whole gamble: get the voice right and the listener lives there for a fortnight.

Two dozen ratings have settled a shade above four stars, a fair but early picture. Note too that this one is still to arrive with us rather than ready to play, so the listing is the thing to watch. When it does land, clear some space; House of Devils is a series for the reader who wants somewhere to disappear into rather than a story to finish before the weekend is out. Take a look at what is gathered below.
