Recensione:

 
"Bold, brutal, and making no compromises—Morgan doesn't so much twist the clichés of fantasy as take an axe to them."—Joe Abercrombie

"The award-winning author of Altered Carbon and Market Forces brings the same iconoclastic approach to his fantasy debut as he did to his sf technothrillers. . . . [Richard K.] Morgan's storytelling talent and his atmospheric, hard-hitting prose make this a strong addition to mature fantasy collections."—Library Journal

"Spellbinding . . . There's so much to like about the adventure."—Star-Ledger
"Morgan has taken traditional sword and sorcery tropes and given them a hard, contemporary kick. The antithesis of the cosy fairytale, this one is for big boys."—Times, London
 
"[A] dark, gritty tale . . . The well-developed characters and realistic battle scenes ring true."—Publishers Weekly
