If you want a gripping, well written and brilliant fantasy series, you got it. * ANNA RELLIX, @annarella, on WAR FOR THE ROSE THRONE *
Dark, gritty, brutal fantasy with the heart of a gangster family drama and the page-turning pace of the best crime fiction, it’s just SO good! * TRACK OF WORDS on WAR FOR THE ROSE THRONE *
Dark and full of menace, McLean’s War for the Rose Throne belongs on the shelf of any fan of gritty fantasy * ED McDONALD, bestselling author of The Raven’s Mark series, on WAR FOR THE ROSE THRONE *
I can’t remember the last time I read such a consistently good series as The War for the Throne. Characterisation in these books is phenomenal. Each is flawed, many are brutal, but you can’t help but feel an affinity for them. McLean’s prose keeps you reading, as you hang out for the next revelation and revel in each glorious set-piece * GEEK DAD ON PRIEST OF GALLOWS *
Utterly unputdownable * TRACK OF WORDS on PRIEST OF GALLOWS in ‘Best SFF of 2021’ *
A page-turner, a gripping story * @ANNARELLA on PRIEST OF CROWNS *
An absolute humdinger of a series. Tomas Piety is probably one of my favourite modern fantasy creations. He is such a compelling, flawed but noble character. The story and the culmination of the saga are deeply satisfying * GEEK DAD on PRIEST OF CROWNS *
Priest of Crowns is an absolute page-turner, and through the last 80%, I literally sat on the edge of my seat. Peter McLean brings the War for the Rose Throne series to a gut-punching end, one that will be remembered for a long time coming. One of the best books of 2022 for sure. Praise be to Our Lady * QUEEN’S BOOK ASYLUM on PRIEST OF CROWNS *
Phenomenol! A grim, powerful story that’s full of tension … the powerful, explosive conclusion to the series. A series that has consistently impressed at every turn * TRACK OF WORDS on PRIEST OF CROWNS *
Tomas Piety’s swansong is everything you could hope for * THE ELOQUENT PAGE on PRIEST OF CROWNS *
A bold, explosive conclusion with a real gut-punch of
an ending
McLean has crafted a remarkable story with a distinct voice on the state of modern politics, and a cast of colorful, vibrant characters that brought the story to life. Unputdownable * NOVEL NOTIONS *
Written with the momentum of an avalanche * Geek Chocolate *
