Recensioner i media

"The Warrior is an incredible sequel and the work of a master story-teller at the peak of his powers. It's a thrilling adventure into dark and twisted lands, full of nail-biting tension and heart-stopping surprises."- Mike Shackle, author of We are the Dead"A dark, inter-dimensional Sword & Sorcery adventure that grabs you by the throat and doesn't let up."- Peter McLean, author of Priest of BonesPRAISE FOR STEPHEN ARYAN"Packing in an epic's worth of action and feeling, this thought-provoking fantasy argues that even the most vicious monster battles are less harrowing than the struggles within men's souls. This is a knockout."- Publishers Weekly, Starred Review"Magnificent...Exactly the sort of breathless adventure we need after a lockdown year"- SFX Magazine"Aryan's newest series is sure to please fantasy readers; he wraps everything up masterfully while leaving just enough unresolved questions for the sequel"- Booklist"A tremendous sword & sorcery romp with a lot of heart and plenty to say. I really enjoyed this book."- Peter McLean, author of Priest of Bones "Stephen Aryan puts the epic into Epic Fantasy."- Den Patrick, author of The Boy with the Porcelain Blade"Aryan's battle scenes are visceral masterpieces that transport the reader deep into the melee."- Taran Matharu, author of the Summoner series"Sparkling action sequences punctuate keen dialogue and a journey full of colour and interest... Compelling, consuming and a novel in which no character can be considered supporting cast... Bring on the sequel." - James Barclay, author of The Chronicles of the Raven"Fast-paced and action-packed, steeped in plots and schemes - a great fantasy tale."- Ed Cox, author of The Relic Guild Trilogy
