RaveGrimdark MagazineLee has perfectly honed her fantasy and gangster thriller experience with more drama, bloodshed, showdowns, political intrigue, and higher costs ... The world-building and the magic system (Jade powers) are some of modern fantasy’s finest but it’s Lee’s characters, their dialogues and interactions, and the sublime character development that makes this series such an addictive and memorable read ... Lee has excelled throughout Jade Legacy, solidifying herself as an excellent writer and masterful storyteller.
Andrzej Sapkowski
RaveGrimdark MagazineBefore I approached The Tower of Fools, one of my favourite elements of Sapkowski’s writing was that he created great supporting characters, groups, brotherhoods and fellowships ... This strength of the author’s is present throughout The Tower of Fools too, with characters like Scharley, Samson Honey-Eater and Urban Horn being just as complex, colourful and interesting to read about as the novel’s lead is ... Recommended for fans of Sapkowski’s The Witcher Saga, and those who enjoy a dark fantasy take on historical events.
Tade Thompson
RaveFantasy Book ReviewI have been loving my fantasy and science fiction books recently that have been based on or inspired by certain places I am less familiar with ... This fits nicely in the same vein for being exciting, elegant, complex, deep and original. It ticks a lot of boxes that I look for in a fiction age which is overflowing with carbon copies of what has come previously ... One of my favourite aspects was how Thompson discusses the history we are familiar with that is up to date, (I think I noticed a Donald Trump diss in here somewhere !) and also imagined events that have taken place between 2018 and 2066 ... Thompson is obviously a brilliant and very smart author and this is the best science fiction book I\'ve read in a few years. Bravo, sir.
