Review:

��Breathless pace�� Damasco resembles a landlocked version of Jack Sparrow�� The atypical backdrop,self-aware style and downplaying of magics bring to mind the contemporary fantasies of Scott Lynch and Joe Abercrombie.�� - SFX Magazine - ��A fast-paced, witty and original fantasy, reminiscent of Scott Lynch and Fritz Leiber.�� - Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of the Shadows of the Apt series - ��David Tallerman's first novel is a gripping yarn, one that is difficult to put down once started, and this reviewer is eagerly awaiting the next tale of Easie Damasco.�� - Starburst Magazine - ��If you're up for a fun, fast-paced adventure featuring rogues, giants and lots of fighting, you won't want to miss it!�� - A Fantastical Librarian - ��Fast-paced, quick-witted, engaging; as apt a description of Easie Damasco, reluctant hero, as of the novel itself.�� - Juliet E. McKenna, author of The Tales of Einarinn - ��Best known for an eclectic variety of short stories, Tallerman debuts with a breezy novel of a man with his eye on the prize �� Tallerman's charming, devil-may-care hero has plenty of swashbuckling roguishness to carry him through the planned sequels.�� - Publishers Weekly - ��This really is a fun read. Saltlick is adorable, I want one! It's straightforward, linear, smack down the middle fast-paced goodness.�� - Fantasy Nibbles - ��...a wryly amusing and entertaining read that also proves to be more thought provoking than might originally seem to be the case.�� - Morpheus Tales
