The first post!

Welcome to the wonderful world of Fictiongarden.com, where the best independent titles in Fantasy Fiction are reviewed and compiled into our Recommended Reading section.

I'd just like to throw out that we are not affiliated with http://fictiongarden.blogspot.co.uk/ or https://fictiongarden.wordpress.com/ for that matter. We're not affiliated with anything currently, but we wish to congratulate anybody else going under the Fictiongarden name for their impeccable taste.

It reminds me of an awkward situation where one of my characters, who had been germinating in my debut for close to fifteen years, had to be renamed due to the emergence of gaming company Trion Worlds. Hopefully I won't be getting any cease and desists due to my usage of the name!

Things are being added and updated on the site all the time, and that's what this news page will primarily be used to highlight. If we have any other interesting things to comment/inform you about then we shall.

First and foremost, the biggest change is of course the addition of this blog! We're not sure whether we're going to stick this on the front page or just have it as a separate news section in the long term, we'll see how that plays out. Hopefully the blogger connection won't blow out and everything will work smoothly. If  not you'll soon be hearing about it!

Last but not least, the 'Why is this book recommended?' addendum to the Recommended Reading section has been added. This essentially sums up what was different/special about the work, whether it be the plot or setting or genre amalgamation. Hopefully the review preceding it should have given you a fair understanding of why it holds a place in the section, but for those of you who aren't interested in lyrical waxing it can be a quick summary that you can skip to.
