It was hard to pick a winner for 2024. I did have fun with this year's three contenders, but I must admit, there was one book in particular that I enjoyed slightly more than the rest. Just a matter of personal taste🤷‍♂️ Behold the 2024 FIFROTY Winner!

Karim Soliman @karimsoliman.bsky.social · 23/12/2024

About time I chose my favorite indie fantasy read of the year, but look at this year's contenders! It can't get any tougher! So, which do you think is my pick for 2024?

Karim Soliman @karimsoliman.bsky.social · 20/12/2024

Out of the blue, Mostafa felt curious about my books and emptied the corner dedicated to them. Eventually, he decided that, out of the books I wrote, We Break Immortals has his favorite cover😂 Honorable mention to The Advent of Winter for Mostafa’s “Best Backcover Award”😄

Karim Soliman @karimsoliman.bsky.social · 14/12/2024

I did enjoy The Diplomat S2, even more than I did S1. As usual, Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell) was my favorite character. With that ending, I can't wait for S3!

Arcane S2: Though I enjoyed S1 more than this one, Arcane remains the most complete fantasy show this year. Characters, animation, soundtracks, action sequences: all were great. Some flashbacks were just perfection 👌

Classic, epic fantasy in a masterful modern voice. I read The Fall 3 yrs ago & finally I’m back to @ryancahill.bsky.social universe. I always hear that the sequels are even much better, but seriously, what a start!

Let's see if the blue heavens are not as abandoned as they seem👀 So, yesterday my awesome bookish pals helped me reveal the cover of my upcoming book A Ballad of Vengeance! An epic fantasy that blends Egyptian & Norse mythology into a tale of family & revenge. Interested in an ARC? bit.ly/4eXQ2cJ

"There honestly needs to be more stars to accurately reflect just how much I loved this!" Not that I'm biased (not at all), but I believe we should do as Lauren asks. Just saying 🤷‍♀️

As you may know, I'm honored to be part of the crew summoned by @dominishbooks.bsky.social for The Advent of Winter. Frozen Hell is about a family trying to survive the wrath of some mad titan by sticking together. But according to our MC, mad titans might not be his biggest concern👀

Random fact: half of the reviewers who 5-starred Reign of Demons had given 4 stars to—at least—one of the previous books in the series. Says something about the finale, don't you think? Maybe the payoff is worth it after all?

Karim Soliman @karimsoliman.bsky.social · 22/10/2023

Let's not forget that in October, I concluded my 2nd fantasy series. Also this happened in October: "An amazing conclusion. This entire series has been an epic fantasy thrill ride and it went out fighting! With immersive writing and deep world building, I’ve loved every page."
