It’s a real-life lesson in leadership, an allusion to pretentious saviour-Stalins and Christ-Hitlers who believe that they can change the world by breaking it first.

There are a number of connections to be made, between different characters, historical events, peoples, and gods, the deciphering of which proves a puzzling delight for readers.

It’s conflict on a scale never before seen in fantasy. The sheer scope is staggering.

The idea of a virtual game that goes beyond mere gaming pleasure, extending into the very lives and thoughts of people, is quite astounding.

It’s unfortunate the second book isn’t out yet. But when it does, it’s jumping straight to the top of my tbr list!

It’s writers like you that make me want to do nothing but read all-day

Great read, this was. Faultless, in my opinion. 

The setting is straight from the Middle Ages.
