Reviews
“Imagine Alexandre Dumas’s account of H.G. Wells’s Martians invading Terry Pratchett’s Discworld . . . . A vibrant, thoughtful, spectacular, adventure-drama. . . .McMullen borrows freely, but weaves his own magical comedy of horrors. The result: a blast.” —Kirkus, starred review
“Zany. . .reworking of The War of the Worlds. . . .Fans of Wells’s masterpiece will reel in this fantasy.” —Publishers Weekly
“Sean McMullen’s back in his funny, rowdy, bawdy moonworld Verral. . . .Third in this series, after the lovely Voyage of the Shadowmoon and Glass Dragons, this volume has McMullen’s characters reprising H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds and a series of love-and-sex mistakes that could’ve been lifted from Shakespeare . . . . One very fun novel.” —The San Diego Union-Tribune
“Vastly entertaining, McMullen’s book turns all sorts of fantasy tropes upside down in a fast-paced and humorous way. Fans of Terry Pratchett will likely get a kick out of this book, as will readers who are tired of seeing the same things over and over again in fantasy novels.” —Romantic Times Bookclub
