About this ebook
The Books of the Cataclysm take inspiration from many arcane and mythological sources. In positing that this world is just one of many "realms," three of which are inhabited by humans during various stages of their lives, it begins in the present world but soon propels the reader to a landscape that is simultaneously familiar and fantastic.

Reviews for The Blood Debt

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The First Book of the Cataclysm, The Blood Debt, was one of the best books I read last year, and I'd been looking forward to reading the Second Book. I was startled to find that it was, in many respects, completely different from the first book, though excellent in its own right. While I miss the nightmarish landscapes and the urgency of the first book, I came to really appreciate the world that the author has built for the sequel. This is a world that he's obviously told stories in before, and happily, that backstory was woven deftly into this book so, once I got over the startlement, it didn't take me too long to find my feet in this new universe. I really enjoyed the three main characters, Shilly, Sal and Skender, and the host of secondary characters, as they were all well-realised. I particularly appreciated their diversity, and how the book was so beautifully Infused with the Australian landscape. I also liked the imaginative flashes (e.g. the man'kin, the living statuary who can see past, present and future simultaneously), and certainly the story became increasingly gripping. Good stuff, and I want to keep on with this series, and find Williams' earlier books too.
