Reviews

Praise for the Books of Blood and Iron

[Turns] common tropes on their heads....His reinterpretations of trolls, giants, and fae folk give this series opener a fresh feeling, while his nods to Norse mythology and folklore root it strongly in fantasy tradition.Publishers Weekly

Brought back fond memories of a classic fantasy book while still offering a wonderfully unique take on the genre....Steven Harper created a world that I never got tired of exploring.The Qwillery

The story holds all of the adventure, magic, and mystery I have come to expect from the genre....[It] follows a heros journey...with energy and artfulness.Wicked Little Pixie
