“A grand epic…showcasing Carey’s intimate development of deeply wounded, sometimes deeply flawed, yet utterly dignified and sympathetic characters, with some of the best dragons in all fantasy literature.” —Booklist on Banewreaker

“A memorable beginning to what should be another strong series.” —Publishers Weekly on Banewreaker

“Carey creates a masterful interplay of subjective views…Whereas Tolkien kept Sauron mainly on the sidelines as the embodiment of Ancient Evil, less a main actor than a smoldering threat, Carey

restores him and his lieutenant’s to the stature they had Milton.” —Locus on Banewreaker

“An intriguing fantasy world with interesting characters and more than a touch or romance.” —Chronicle (UK) on Banewreaker
