Critics Review
A masterpiece of intrigue and mystery with a nameless, faceless enemy hellbent on destruction. I loved it.
A masterpiece of intrigue and mystery with a nameless, faceless enemy hellbent on destruction. I loved it.
Utterly brilliant … The Poison Wars novels contain some of the best world-building I’ve ever read, a wonderful sibling bond unlike anything in fantasy, all wrapped together in a mystery I couldn’t put down. Highly recommend!
A richly textured tale of old treachery and new intrigue … Fans will savour Hawke’s well-shaded characters, the lavish descriptions of their fictional world, and Hawke’s acute analyses of self-doubt, guilt, discrimination, and recrimination. This is a political epic done right * PUBLISHERS WEEKLY *
Hollow Empire delivers mystery, suspense, thrills, action, setbacks, puzzles, red herrings, emotional gut-punches, moments of despair - and triumph - and even a little romance … a true fantasy masterpiece * FANTASY HIVE *
One of Australia’s leading imaginative authors * CANBERRA TIMES *
Moments that truly made me want to cry … others that had me at the edge of my seat - it’s so good … Would I recommend this? 100000% … one of my favourite series of all time. My rating: 5⁄5 stars * CHAININTERACTION *
Hawke’s exemplary prose thrusts readers directly into the action, both physical and magical, building tension and excitement until the final pages. * LIBRARY JOURNAL *
The world building is truly extraordinary … an edge of the seat finale … the writing is beautiful … it encompasses the best of all reading worlds and is both evocative and intelligent - with an added dose of page turning quality that will see its 500+ pages fly by if you let them. Highly recommended
* LIZLOVESREADING *I highly recommend Hollow Empire … an incredible sequel, worth every second of waiting. It showcases one of the best (and local!) voices in fantasy. If you want a diverse, character driven story with exquisite world building and characters you would lay down your life for, do yourself a favour and pick up these books * WILDHEARTREADS *
