Review Quotes

"[Sunset Mantle] bears comparison, in a way, with the work of K. J. Parker... but with none of the cynicism. The pleasures are real." --Locus

"Sunset Mantle is almost more of a fable which reminds us of both the difficulty and importance of doing the right thing... It's a familiar story in the lines of Zulu, Lord of the Rings, or even 300... Cete and Marelle are the kind of characters on which legends are built; not just honourable and courageous themselves, but inspiring honour and courage in those around them. Sunset Mantle is a mini epic." --Michaela Gray, Geek Syndicate
