‘A Tolkien of our times’
Wall Street Journal
‘I started reading
Switched in the evening one night and stayed up until 3am because I didn’t want to put it down. I had to be at work the next day and all I could think about was going home and finishing the book. Yes, it’s that good’
A Tale of Many Reviews
‘I ate this book up. I could barely put it down before bed, and was also trying to sneak time in my busy morning to read some extra sentences. This was an awesome first book in a series that I’m dying to read. Amanda please write the next one soon. I’m dying!!’
Midnight Glace Reviews
‘I
loved this book! . . . I highly suggest you take a look at this book if you want to read some fantasy that leaves you panting for the next installment’
The Light Under The Covers
‘This series has a bit of everything – magic, myth, action, romance . . . ah, the romance! There is something so appealing about forbidden love, especially when it leads to a happily-ever-after. I have to say, I love the way this ended. Of course, I won’t give spoilers, but the ending was perfect’
