Critics Review
A charismatic and very more-ish book with solid prose and a strong voice. Priest of Bones is a story of organised crime with shades of the Godfather. It sounds grim and dark … and it is … but our priest of bones is quite the humanitarian for a ruthless crime lord. With high-tempo action it’s just very fun to read - Mark Lawrence, author of Red Sister
Priest of Bones can be effectively summarised as “gangsters in fantasyville”. McLean manages to combine two of my most liked elements in fantasy - a quick-moving plot and characters with realistic relationships. Fans of Daniel Polansky, Mark Lawrence or, dare I say, Blackwing will most appreciate this book - Ed McDonald, author of BlackwingPeaky Blinders with swords - Barnes and NobleI found myself immediately sucked in to the grim and very dark world McLean has created … I loved this book and can’t wait for the next one. - Sue Tingey, author of MarkedFresh and compelling … Mashing together soldiers, gangsters, magic and war into a heady mix that is a hulking big brother to The Lies of Locke Lamora, this is the first in an unmissable series - Anna Stephens, author of GodblindPriest of Bones is a gritty, realistic, emotional, diverse & entertaining beginning to the War for the Rose Throne series. Really looking forward to the next one! - The GrimdragonWith its charismatic merging of backstreet magic, gangland conflict and political power struggles in a city teetering on the edge of destruction, Priest of Bones launches a breathtaking opening salvo in the War for the Rose Throne series - BookPageThe best fantasy book I have read so far this year - Book Girl of Mur-y-CastellAbout The Author
