Online Reviews:

Graeme's Fantasy Book Review reviews Redlaw, gives it nine and a quarter out of ten, and hopes that this could be the start of a series...

SciFiChick.com reviews Sympathy for the Devil. Dark, suspenseful, with plenty of surprising twists, the story was completely engaging and hard to put down. And the characters are complex and gritty. Gustainis never fails to entertain.

The Fantasy Book Review has reviewed Juliet E. McKenna's Dangerous Waters. reviewer, mark, says he not only now understands Juliet's place within 'the pantheon' of British fantasy authors, but is planning the read her earlier novels. As a reader we are stretched as taut as a bowstring... our frustration building until, at the last, the world McKenna has corralled us into explodes in a maelstrom of violence that is merely the tinder spark for what must come in the next books...

Pornokitsch reviews Nicholas Royle's Regicide, (insists on being read through to the final page, with every paragraph serving as another turn in the maze....) as does Gavin C. Pugh of GavReads.co.uk (It’s not often that books affect me after reading them but this one lingers, especially when you start asking how unhinged Carl actually is and when you first started to notice...). Gavin is also running a Regicide giveaway, ending 2nd September, so get over there and enter if you want to bag yourself a copy....

Interview: Juliet McKenna

Issue #4 of science fiction and fantasy magazine Salon Futura features this interview with Solaris author Juliet McKenna. Cheryl Morgan conducts the interview.

You can find out about Juliet's all-new fantasy trilogy for Solaris Books, The Hadrumal Crisis, on our website. Here's the cover for the first instalment, Dangerous Waters, coming out in August next year.

Cover (TBC) by Clint Langley

The Archmage rules the island of wizards and has banned the use of magecraft in warfare, but there are corsairs raiding the Caladhrian Coast, enslaving villagers and devastating trade. Barons and merchants beg for magical aid, but all help has been refused so far.

Lady Zurenne’s husband has been murdered by the corsairs, and a man she doesn’t even know stands watch over her and her daughters. Corrain, former captain and now slave to the corsairs, knows that Zurenne’s guardian is a rogue wizard.

If Corrain can only escape, he’ll see justice done. Unless the Archmage’s magewoman, Jilseth, catches the renegade first...

Dangerous Waters is the start of a stunning new fantasy trilogy by highly-respected fantasy writer, Juliet E. McKenna.
