Critics Review
‘A tale that rings like sword song in the reader’s mind. Harffy knows his genre inside out and The Cross and the Curse proves it’ Giles Kristian.
A tale that rings like sword song in the reader’s mind. Harffy knows his genre inside out and The Cross and the Curse proves it – Giles KristianHarffy has created a gritty, authentic world, home to a hero who shows us the complexity of what it means to be human – the darkness and the delight. The Cross and the Curse is historical fiction at its finest – Stephanie ChurchillHarffy allows the reader to peel back the layers of Dark Age society beyond the implicit violence. His wordage is skilful and beautifully wrought, rather like a perfect damascened sword – Prue Batten
