Though not quite up there with the best, I found it to be a superior slice of high fantasy, certainly better than many other such books.

This is the great strength of Banquet for the Damned: that it brings together the graphic and the subtle, supernatural and human horror, and makes them play their parts to the best effect.

The Scent of Shadows may have its flaws, but there is clear evidence that Pettersson's series could become a superior example of its kind.

The Age of the Conglomerates is a wasted opportunity of a book; it is highly dispiriting that it has been published in its present form.

Underneath the trappings, we have a fairly traditional quest/coming-of-age story; but, again, it's done so well that it feels fresh.

[...] a novel that combines elements of love story, thriller, and work of ideas, yet gains its impact from being more than the sum of these. And it all works. It works brilliantly. In The Accord, Keith Brooke has created a dazzling work of the imagination.

Though not a major piece of work, Purple and Black packs in a lot given its constraints; and is a better read than many a fantasy of its ilk.
