Review

"Book two in Fultz's imaginative visionary tale is the epitome of fantasy. His world building is in a class by itself. His battle scenes explode with inconceivable actions, his imagery and descriptive narrative gives voice and life to his awe-inspiring characters and his heroes and nightmarish creatures give face to his epic tale."―RT Book Review (4.5 Stars) on Seven Kings

"One of the strongest epic fantasies I've read in a long time. My perfect epic fantasy novel looks a great deal like John R. Fultz's debut, Seven Princes" ―Rob Will Review

"What Seven Princes [offers] is breakneck pacing and nonstop insanity..... It's epic with a capital EPIC."―io9.com on Seven Princes

"A stand-out fantasy series from an author with an exceptional talent for characterization and world building."―Library Journal (Starred Review) on Seven Princes

"Tarantino and Tolkien have a literary love child and his name is John R. Fultz. A multi-layered world, beautiful description, break-neck action and appropriate brutality; it's wonderful stuff."―thebookbag.co.uk on Seven Kings
