All I can say is WOW!! This has the best of Moorcock and the best of Constantine. A great plot, wonderful characters, tremendously well-imagined world. Very likeable characters -- even most of the villains. Totally different from anything either writer has done before and yet you can't imagine any other two writers producing this novel. Great, great, great!

I'd just finished some pretty far out Moorcock (War Amongst The Angels) when I read this so I was shocked by how grounded the novel is, surely Constantine's influence! The story is well structured with a great gothic atmosphere and some great 3 dimensional characters though the plot, while very well thought out, is your average "find all the magical artifacts" quest. The book isn't bogged down with to many references to every other Moorcock book while it does take the Rose from Blood etc. which I found very refreshing. A great combination of writing talent and a very enjoyable book.

These are two writers I wouldn't normally think of as being similar and maybe it is their differences which make this such a surprisingly good read.
I like both writers and this is a combination of the two -- it's set in Moorcock's multiverse, has typical Moorcock characters and a good, tight, if slightly conventional plot, and it has Constantine's subtleties of character and motivation. An excellent read for fans of both writers.

Slapdash writing and a book for teenagers
I used to love Michael Moorcock, when I was in my teens, so I thought I'd give this a go.

Storm Constantine's best book
This book has it all - good characters, good narrative, and a very good ending. It's clearly a book of the fantasy genre at its best.

Very good indeed
Apart from being fantasy writers, Moorcock and Constantine don't have that much in common -- except a certain uncommon sensibility. Read more

Splendid surprise!
This really does combine the virtues and few of the vices of both Moorcock and Constantine. To be honest, I enjoyed this a lot more than I have enjoyed books by the individual... Read more
