A gritty book with intriguing characters and has a plot which will keep you hooked till the end
Dalglish concocts a heady cocktail of energy, breakneck pace and excitement that a reader could get drunk on
Fast, furious and fabulous
A winning combination of A Game of Thrones, sword-and-sorcery RPGs, and vivid description . . . The point of view shifts continually, encompassing bit players and major characters from every angle of the struggle, and Dalglish handles his cast of thousands with aplomb . . . this is a fun read. Dalglish puts familiar pieces together with a freshness and pleasure that are contagious
Dalglish is well on his way to join the ranks of Peter V. Brett and Brent Weeks as influential authors in a new generation of fantasy
