Brett and Brent Weeks as influential authors in a new generation of fantasy * FANTASY FACTION * Dalglish concocts a heady cocktail of energy, breakneck pace and excitement that a reader could get drunk on -- Sam Sykes, author of TOMB OF THE UNDERGATES A gritty book with intriguing characters and has a plot which will keep you hooked till the end * FANTASY BOOK CRITIC * 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.
