Critics Review

Hair is adept at building characters as well as worlds * Kirkus on MAGE’S BLOOD *A fast-paced, entertaining read * Beneath A Thousand Skies on MAP’S EDGE *Filled with action and adventure yet was also rich in characterisation and contained a spectacular created world * Muse Books *A riveting, thoughtful fantasy that blends the best of Guy Gavriel Kay and Brandon Sanderson, set in a richly textured landscape where battle-hardened heroes confront their most dangerous enemy: the truth about the nature of their heroism and what the magic they rely upon costs the world around them. Full of nuanced, loveable characters whose complex relationships with each other and with themselves make The Burning Land a compulsively readable adventure not to be missed! * Sebastien de Castell *
