Reviews

For The Iron Codex:

"Bottom line, The Dark Arts is turning out to be a blast of a series and I can't wait to read the next installment, The Shadow Commission."--SFF World

For The Midnight Front:

"Action-packed... Emotionally and intellectually engaging, as well as viscerally satisfying." --RT Book Reviews

"This novel is in equipoise--the horrific and evil balanced expertly by humor and good. ... The Midnight Front is as close to a perfect novel that I've had the pleasure to read in a long time. Mack leaves no cliffhangers and beautifully sets up the next novel in the series. I can't recommend The Midnight Front enough."--The Qwillery

"A rollicking, high-stakes adventure with action tailor-made for the movies." --Brian Staveley, author of The Emperor's Blades

"Smart and surprising--fun and fascinating speculation grounded in familiar history, a rich and textured variation on the magical arts, and complex characters struggling to fight the good fight. I loved it." --Kirsten Beyer, New York Times Bestselling author of Children of the Storm

"Propulsive...Equal parts brimstone and gunpowder." --Kirkus Reviews

"Mack is a skilled storyteller with a gift for vivid and visceral action." --Publishers Weekly
