Brett’s gritty tale will appeal to those who tire of sympathetic villains and long for old-school orc massacres.” “Brett’s debut builds slowly and grimly on a classic high-fantasy framework of black-and-white morality and bloodshed. Consider the series this begins worth tracking.” Brett includes plenty of exciting battles, terrifying monsters, and heart-wrenching moments to make the focus of his story-the development of flawed, ordinary children into legends-believable. “Brett’s fantasy debut is a highly readable adventure with a unique setting and three strong protagonists. An imaginative and exciting tale, recommended where there is interest in epic fantasy.” “Brett ably blends fantasy and horror in this arresting first novel, the first in a planned series. “ impressive debut about old-fashioned heroism.” The Warded Man works not only as a great adventure novel, but as a reflection on the nature of heroism.” No one is free until a hero rises who is willing to defy the demons, but at a terrible price. “Peter Brett’s tremendously readable first novel, The Warded Man, is set in a harsh and feudal world in which demons rule the night. Action and suspense all the way he made me care about his characters and want to know what’s going to happen next.” There is much to admire in Peter Brett’s writing, and his concept is brilliant.
