Critics Review
‘Lee, South Korea’s leading fantasy writer, is a skilled worldbuilder in the Tolkien vein… A pleasure for readers of fantasy outside the Western tradition’
Kirkus Reviews
‘This extremely accessible epic fantasy, a Korean classic available for the first time in English, uses familiar genre foundations with exciting South Korean twists to create an unputdownable read that feels part Nicholas Eames’s Kings of the Wyld and part T. Kingfisher’s Nettle and Bone’
Library Journal
‘This series will be catnip to readers that love epic journeys, high stakes adventures, intricate societies, an amazing plot, and a world on the cusp of change. Fans of Marlon James’ Dark Star trilogy will devour this and anticipate the next in the series’
