Critic reviews

"Epic fantasy for readers who appreciate extra helpings of carnage with their backstabbing." (Publishers Weekly on Battlemage)

"Aryan's battle scenes are visceral masterpieces that transport the reader deep into the melee." (Taran Matharu, author of the Summoner novels)

"A vivid and rousing adventure with the kind of magic that punches you right in the face." (Jen Williams on Battlemage)

A step back from the first book

The story shown to us is less interesting than the one told to us. The narrator spent too much time world building and trying to make unrelatable characters relatable. The cat and mouse game was interesting but under developed. Characters we loved in part one were missing except for a few meaningless scenes. I think the writer missed an opportunity to show a really good story.

well written and very well read, I like that the author brought back old characters. would of like to seen more of them but that's it.. great visuals and epic adventure.
