Critics Review
A perfectly plotted, beautifully written fantasy
A perfectly plotted, beautifully written fantasy - - Publisher’s Weekly
A master of intelligent fantasy - subtle, well-crafted and gripping. - STEPHEN DonaldsonSean Russell adds interesting ideas to the Medievalising fantasy. The Isle of Battle, second volume of his Swan’s War trilogy, has a handy amount of night-time treachery, feats of archery, sorcery and pitched cavalry battles. It has interesting thoughts about the nature of identity–to save her life, noblewoman Elise has allowed herself to be possessed by the long-dead sorceress Sianon and it is not clear, in either direction, who got the better of the deal. Similarly, Russell plays games with honour–is Dease, who has changed his loyalties, more, or less, honourable than his cousin Samul, who pursues them into dishonour and treachery? - These books take place in debatable land–centuries earlier a sorcerer twisted the relationship in time and space between locations along a river vallRoz Kaveney, AMAZON.CO.UKSean Russell
