What They're Saying

Critics Review

Guaranteed already, this will be one of the best books I will read this year.

Vivid characters, visceral combat and a twist of an ending that I really should have seen coming and didn’t (wizards are bastards and here’s the proof). Brilliant use of magic as technology, too, like lightbulbs and water heaters. Excellent gender representation … Suffice to say, I bloody loved it and I am officially an Ed McDonald fan. He deserves to go far. - Elspeth Cooper, author of THE SONGS OF THE EARTH

One of the best books of the year - Fantasy Book Review

Gritty and immersive, Blackwing is a hugely enjoyable tale - Edward Cox, author of The Relic Guild

Blackwing walks the line between post-apocalyptic fiction and fantasy, but still manages to inject a sense of wonder amongst all the grit. I hope Joe Abercrombie and Scott Lynch aren’t resting on their laurels because there’s a new blade in town - Gavin Smith, author of The Age of Scorpio
