“Well written, cunningly plotted and above all else a combat story of survival that shows that Thorpe is more than prepared to slaughter a world to establish his own rule. Great stuff.”
– Falcata Times
“The Crown of the Conqueror (A+) is another excellent fantasy that I strongly recommend … the author has another winner here!”
– Fantasy Book Critic
“The Crown of the Blood should really have a warning sticker on the front… it’s one of those books that are almost impossible to put down.”
