Reviews

Remic manages to pace the opening of the story perfectly, dropping the reader enough context not to feel lost, then ramping up into moments of action which are genuinely gripping.
Sci-Fi and Fantasy Reviews

Remic is clearly a writer right at the top of his game.
BrainFluff

This was a highly enjoyable book, well worth reading. Its unapologetically fantasy The good guys are our heroes, the bad guys are unabashedly evil, and theres adventures and fights and sneaking into peoples homes while theyre presumably out to take all their stuff.I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Inkspot Fancy

Dragon Engineis like the illegitimate love childbetweenThe HobbitandGame of Thrones.Its the perfect book for an adult fantasy lover.
Fiction Foresight

The story is wonderfully vibrant and detailed, even to the point that during some battle scenes I felt compelled to wince and look away.
Two Nerds Talking

Andy brings together two of the great writers Tolkien and Martin. Like Tolkien and Martin, you are put right in the story like you are watching a movie, yet you feel the emotions as if they were your own. I love it when an author can make you see and feel.The flow of the story plot was perfect; the characters are complex, yet believable. Now Andy has me sitting one the edge of my seat waiting for the next book to come out.
Critique Corner

"The final chapters are some of the most powerful Remic has ever written.It is a very different story arc than theRage of Kings, but readers who appreciate a more mature, more adult, no-hold-barred kind of fantasy that rivals any big screen R-rated action flick will once again find a lot to enjoy here.
Beauty in Ruins

The author brings his A-grade storytelling skills to bear and unveils a pacy, action driven plot that is easy to get completely engrossed in. I could wax lyrical about Andy Remics writing all day. Its not difficult to waffle appreciatively about an author whose work you really enjoy. If youve never experienced Mr Remics work before, and you arent adverse to the odd beheading or two twelve, then I urge you to give this book a try. Hell, lets be honest here, Id say that for any book hes written.
The Eloquent Page

This book dug its claws into me on so many levels it is hard to isolate what exactly made it a 4 star novel. Perhaps it was the complex but flawed heroes. Maybe the familiarHobbit-esque quest morphing into a grimdark nightmare did it. The wonderfully paced story and realistic action definitely entertained. No matter the ingredients though, Remic casted a spell with this one, and if you havent experienced his take on grimdark, you really should give this one a try.
Bookwraiths

It is a very different story arc than theRage of Kings, but readers who appreciate a more mature, more adult, no-hold-barred kind of fantasy that rivals any big screen R-rated action flick will once again find a lot to enjoy here.
The Speculative Herald

This book made me want to play DnD.
Reading Lamp

This is an impressively bloody novel, with no quarter given or asked from the many vicious fights and nasty situations our characters get into.
Terror Tree

More than anything though, this book has made me want to play D & D.
