Critic Reviews

"Quite simply, it's brilliant. It's got the depth of research of a PhD dissertation, with the scale and readability of an epic fantasy novel. This will appeal as much to readers of fantasy as it will to authors who are either just getting into fantasy writing or who'd like to sharpen and expand their skill set." (Dyrk Ashton, The Paternus Trilogy)
