Storytelling assurance rare for a debut … Fans of Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson will find much to admire
So exciting … Will appeal not only to The Wheel of Time readers, but to anybody looking for a coming-of-age fantasy tale with likeable characters and strong worldbuilding
A traditional coming-of-age, saving-the-world epic fantasy in the vein of Tad Williams, Raymond E. Feist (and yes, Robert Jordan). But it also has the flavour of something new … You’ll be left wanting more
Action aplenty and an ample spattering of violence … This is a whole new world with a fresh fantasy streak
A relentless juggernaut of a book … Astoundingly intricate worldbuilding
Wonderful worldbuilding and terrific characters
Incessant plot twists and a relentless pace
Love the Wheel of Time? This is about to become your new favourite series
Complex magic, terrifying threats out of legend, political intrigue, and a large cast of characters … Fans of doorstop epic fantasy will not be disappointed

Definitely a series to watch out for. It has everything you wish in Epic fantasy and a lot more
An action-packed nailbiter
Relentless pace and exciting plot … absorbing and impressive
