Reviews

'He is a compelling myth-maker, creating new legends, heroes and villains, new wonders to wake our dormant sense of wonder. THE BROKEN KINGS is simply magical.' - THE TIMES on THE BROKEN KINGS The mythic references are richly detailed [Holdstock] is head and shoulders above the majority of today s fantasy writers." - MX
