Reviews
“But it’s not the battles or the monsters that captivate, it’s the characters” SFX
“…a fast-paced and violent conclusion to an interesting series, epic in scope but low in bloat, marked out by memorably vicious characters (scaled and unscaled).” The Wertzone
“Great Stuff” Falcatta Times
“enthusiastic … brilliantly executed … heart-thumping dragon action” LEC Book reviews
“This is how epic fantasy should be: horrifying dragons, political intrigue, mystery, epic world building, neck-breaking pace, interesting magic and breathtaking battle sequences. There is no wrong or right, there are no heroes; there is only blind ambition, blind devotion, and a struggle to survive. With all its layers and subplots, and a different agenda for pretty much every character, The Order of the Scales proves to be a complex story that will never grow dull.” The Ranting Dragon.
“This is a book that bears some thinking about.” Lowly’s Book Blog
