Media Reviews

I loved these characters, even though I knew it was going to hurt. Heart-wrenching. Poignant. Lovely * Brandon Sanderson on Blood's Pride *
Inventive . . . absorbing and rewarding * Kirkus on The Shattered Kingdoms *
The suspense, character development, and worldbuilding are all superior, and the ominous tone of the opening is sustained throughout * Publisher's Weekly on The Shattered Kingdoms *
Superb * Tor.com on Blood's Pride *
Intrigue, betrayal and old rivalries play out against the fires of revolution. Hang on for a wild ride! * Gail Z. Martin, author of Chronicles of the Necomancer on The Shattered Kingdoms *
A remarkable feat for a newcomer, and leaves me eager for the sequel, Fortune's Blight * Locus on Blood's Pride *
Her ability to insert beautiful descriptions into an action-packed scene is certainly the mark of a talented writer and the series only looks set to become more exciting as the story progresses. * British Fantasy Society on Blood's Pride *
Picture the fluent prose and flawless world-building of an author such as Trudi Canavan combined with the epic plot and character lists of an author like Martin and you won't be far off . . . Her ability to contrast beauty with brutality, hope with despair and love with hate will secure this novel as one of the year's finest * Fantasy-Faction on The Shattered Kingdoms *
