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
