Critic reviews

‘Nate is the wielder of a unique and delightful imagination’
– Adrian Tchaikovsky

‘This is a kind of Lonely Planet guide to the various sub-genres of SF and Fantasy, written as though the work of a crass, blundering hack journalist. It's splendidly satirical and hilariously funny, provided you don't mind literary sacred cows being slaughtered with gleeful, merciless abandon.’
Financial Times

‘A love letter to the worldbuilding of fantasy fiction’
Grimdark Magazine

Loved every minute, the narrators are fab and story is hilarious, and the production of the audiobook is quite something.
Nate Crowley does a an excellent job at making me want to visit all these made up places, but also at making them recognisable enough that I can envision them from other books. WHAT a listen. Adored it. I want to immediately re-listen.

excellent, hilarious

Love this book, the story is really funny and the performance from the voice actors are great. This is what I thought "hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" was going to be kind of.
