"The begin of the grandest, most intricate series I've ever read... I only wish I didn't have to wait so long between them. Read this and you'll be spellbound."
"A dark, vicious series. Characters so real you can't work out who to love and who to hate... lucky really cos every time you get attached to someone, they get killed. The most ruthless author ever!"
"It's pretty hard to write original fantasy... KJ Parker has done it. Uncomfortable books with uncomfortable characters... real and gripping. The shadow series is looking great as well!"
