Under-rated books
It's not in the 3-for-2 in Borders, it's not been reviewed in the mainstream press or nominated for any awards - yet it's a good book! Tell us about it here, and we will go forth and buy it in droves, prompting a major distributor to get hold of it and turning it into the new Shadowmancer (except good). Or if it's out of print, we will spearhead a campaign to get it republished, possibly even starting a small press ourselves in the manner of Girls Gone By.
