Another #spfbo review, and this time it's @MarkOfAScribe's Mordicax.

This wonderful wee mystery novel falls somewhere between Medieval Stranger Things, Pathologic, and a kind of Enid Blyton Famous Five YA adventure.

I really loved it.
What did it do so well? 👇🧵

Tragedy, comedy, botany, birds, elegance, bawdiness, wit and ancient magical wisom. My review of Stars and Ravens by @MikaHunter10 and @DeerFrancis https://t.co/GLhzL1OWVO

An exceptionally well-executed blend of police procedural and shocking supernatural mystery. My review of the splendid Kingsrise by @AnneMAuthor https://t.co/1FRO8oIv2b

@Tallsquall Pitch your book poorly, share your cover, and tag another indie.

Getting the wrong end of the stick is bad; getting the wrong end of a reptile is worse.

@RobinJarvis1963 @PushkinPress Looks amazing! These books (especially the folkloric bits) have been an inspiration to me since childhood

@MikaHunter10 What a lovely review, thank you so much Mika! Meanwhile I’m certainly enjoying Fenwick’s own adventures… 🐦‍⬛

@ellenmarie342 Thank you! It’s the work of the fantastic Dawn Book Design.

[Mark McKerracher @MarkOfAScribe]

So excited to see #Kestrion get her first rating and review 😍😍😍😍

[Mark McKerracher @MarkOfAScribe]

@MikaHunter10 Sorry Fenwick! This book does contain outmoded and controversial views on corvids…

[Mark McKerracher @MarkOfAScribe]

@yourpaperquest 3-4k is my standard - shorter only if it’s a fast pivotal moment, and almost never longer (should be doable in a single sitting for a slowish reader like me)
