“This was one of the best first books by a new author. Can't wait for the next one in the series.”
“Patrick Rothfuss came to Storycasting (www.storycasting.com), posted a "cast" for his book, and then blogged about it - after which the fans descended and began a vigorous casting dialogue on the site. Come take a look. Oh sure, you'll see who has been suggested for the roles, but who will YOU cast?”
“One of the best Fantasy novels I've read in years! I look forward to more from this author.”
“I had to stick with it until chapter eight, but once you get to the story inside the story WOW! I have a hard time putting it down. I am not finished yet, but will be soon at the rate I am going.”
“Long read, but couldn't put it down. I think probably at least 100 pages of unnecessary detail could have been shaved off the top - I ended up skimming several passages to get to the action. But the story is engaging enough that I wasn't deterred and can't wait for the story to continue. ”
“it def isnt your normal fantasy stuff, its more involved with lots of details on trivial things in life, say having breakfast for instance.....but all characters are lovable including the ever mysterious dena or whatever her name is.......... only one gripe though, that encounter with that metal-lizard-cow-dragon thingy (damn cant remember the name) could have been more exciting”
“This series may replace Memory Sorrow and Thorn as my favorite fantasy books of all time. Very good!”
