Review
Katharine Kerr is both a good writer and a thorough Celtic scholar. Indeed, her work is beginning to invite comparisons with Katherine Kurtzs massive Deryni saga.
Chicago Sun-Times
Much as I dislike comparing anything to The Lord of the Rings, I have to admit that on this occasion its justified.
