Reviews
“As sharp as anything by George RR Martin or Joe Abercrombie . . . the new fantasy has another new star.” – SFX
A fiery, eventful read” .. “refreshingly fast paced” – SciFi Now
“Beautifully written, excellently plotted . . . like political manipulation, cracking combat and a massacres worth of blood . . .” Falcatta Times
“Overall, a very strong sequel and one of the best second entries in a trilogy I’ve had the chance to read. In the final paragraph of my Adamantine Palace review I said that The Adamantine Palace was not top notch…well…forget that. It might have been on its own but with The King of the Crags as its sequel it now certainly falls into that category.” LEC Book Reviews
“Questions aside, I finished reading The Adamantine Palace only just about interested about reading this sequel. I closed The King of the Crags knowing for a fact that I will be picking up the final instalment in the trilogy come rain or come shine.” Booksmugglers
“. . . the tension that made The Adamantine Palace so addictive runs throughout this sequel . . . The Dragon War that rages throughout the final stages of the book is simply superb. . . An impressive sequel that boasts the same flare and excitement of its predecesso.” Total SciFi.
“…even more brutal that the first one, darker and more cynical with no-nonsense and sentimentality…” Fantasy Book Critic
