In celebration of the recent North American release of Sam Sykes‘s Tome of the Undergates, Pyr Books has released the prologue on their blog. Sykes has been favourably compared to authors like Scott Lynch, Joe Abercrombie and Michael Moorcock. Not bad company to keep, huh?
If you’re interested in learning more about the book, why not check out my recent interview with Sykes?
Content Warning: Transphobia — In both my original post and comments in the discussion below, I make ignorant and hurtful anti-trans remarks. They are wrong now and were wrong at the time I wrote them. I was wrong—and Mr. Newton correctly called out my ill-informed and ill-considered words. I apologize to those hurt by my words and to the wider transgender community.
Trans women are women. Period.
