An exceptional read, engrossing until the end.
I'm not usually drawn to fantasy fiction but was recommended this book by a friend. From the start of the story I was drawn to the characters instantly, trying to determine their involvement in the journey to follow. Surprising twists and turns kept me engrossed and unable to predict how the story ended. Kudos to the author for writing a story which keeps the reader guessing at every turn and providing moments of shock and awe throughout the experience. A must read for fantasy fans and any reader looking for a enthralling adventure. Now on to the second book!

An excellent first Novel
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can't wait to see what happens in the next one. The four main characters are strong women in different ways and the writer explores the reasons for their respective world views and the difficult and changing dynamics between the sister’s and their relationships with other characters.The story moves on at a really good pace which engages the reader. The looming threat that their world is experiencing creeps in to the story in a good way and is a thoroughly original idea, which kept me guessing till the end of the book and beyond.The battles and other action scenes are extremely well written in a brutal and visceral way that forces you to inhabit the characters and almost feel their pain at times!The writer has painted a dangerous world full of intrigue and a dark threat that culminates in several twists and a shocking finale which left me wanting more. Excellent.

Great read from a brand new author
This was my first attempt at reading a book of this genre. Was attracted to the fact the main leads were of 4 strong female characters. Following their quest and seeing them grow and develop during the story had me hooked. Great easy reading from start to end. I can’t wait to read where the author takes the characters in the next book.

Excellent Novel
An excellent fantasy novel, well defined characters and an unusual story I won't elaborate on to not spoil the fun for others. Simon Wright's writing style is refreshingly interesting and complex, but stays very accessible throughout the book. He refrains from using overly simplified sentence structures and repetition wherever possible which makes this fun to read whilst also expanding one's vocabulary. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and am looking forward to reading the other two books of this trilogy and also for the audio book versions (preferably read by Stephen Fry ;-)).
