Opening quote: “So… I loved this book. Of course, I’m a sucker for epic fantasy to begin with, but I think that there are a lot of elements to this novel that make it a breath of fresh air for the usual fantasy reader.” The rest of the review (5 Cupcakes) can be found here: …

My first review on Amazon and it’s FIVE STAR! “In a fantastic world peopled with characters reminiscent of Tolkien, Hebert, and even at times World of Warcraft, both leads, Moonrazer, the Exalted Warrior and King Varian, ruler of Tellan, head lands that are on the brink of destruction.” Go here: Sword & Illusion Today is …
