Review

"Fultz's grand saga concludes in true epic fashion...The worldbuilding is amazing; Fultz's narrative paints both a graphic and magical picture of war, and his characters are all perfectly rendered." (RT Book Reviews (4.5 stars; Top Pick))

"Book two in Fultz's imaginative visionary tale is the epitome of fantasy. His world building is in a class by itself. His battle scenes explode with inconceivable actions, his imagery and descriptive narrative gives voice and life to his awe-inspiring characters and his heroes and nightmarish creatures give face to his epic tale." (RT Book Reviews Top Pick! (4.5 Stars) on Seven Kings)

"What Seven Princes [offers] is breakneck pacing and nonstop insanity..... It's epic with a capital EPIC." (io9.com on *Seven Princes*)

"A stand-out fantasy series from an author with an exceptional talent for characterization and world building." (Library Journal (Starred Review) on Seven Princes)
