Media Reviews
Praise for Darius Hinks

Mythic fiction as it should be, a high-magic, high adventure, with flawed, believable characters, a good story line and a decent, fast pace.
- The British Fantasy Society

He expertly handles both battles and intimate encounters, while creating well-rounded, full bodied characters.
- Red Book Review

Hinks' prose is fluid, the dialogue realistic, and plot and events progress at a very good clip.
- Civilian Reader

Hinks' writing is some of the closest I have read to Gemmell himself.
- Floor to Ceiling Books

Darius Hinks is an amazing fantasy author.
- Mengel Miniatures

Watch out, Darius Hinks' knack for writing danger can tear you straightaway into the ravaged Old World of Warhammer and keep you hooked to the very end.
- The Founding Fields

Delivers on all fronts in a manner that's nothing short of superb. Nine and a quarter out of ten.
- Graeme's Fantasy Book Review

Great prose and solid bloody combat alongside dialogue that will enrapture the reader as well as ensnare them into Darius' own web.
- Falcata Times
