Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Sam Sykes does blood and noise in the liveliest tradition of contemporary fantasy, with all the brash vigor of youth, and with a sly, penetrating sensitivity all his own. Not many writers can give you fireworks and subtlety at the same time like he can.” —Scott Lynch, New York Times bestselling author of The Republic of Thieves, on the Aeons’ Gate series
"Tome of the Undergates is daring, blisteringly fast, and full of a real vibrant energy.” —SFBook.com on Tome of the Undergates
“Monstrous, murderous, psychotic, deranged, possessed, and insane—the only question is what our heroes hate more: the demons they’re fighting or themselves.” —Stephen Deas, author of The Memory of Flames series, on Tome of the Undergates
Action fantasy with soul-albeit a small, dirty, funny soul. —Brent Weeks
Insouciant, unrepentant and irrepressible adventurers in a powder keg of a city. And that's just how the story begins. —Robin Hobb
Sykes has put the fun back in fantasy with fantastical creatures and a lovable crew of malcontents. The City Stained Red is like David Eddings meets Conan the Barbarian. —Brian McClellan, author of Promise of Blood
Sam Sykes continues to reinvent the fantasy adventuring party in a vibrant world of rude magic and good intentions gone bad. Bold and exuberant, never cynical, Sykes fights the good fight on behalf of rich fantasy that nonetheless refuses to apologize for being kick-ass fun. —Scott Lynch
Playful language, distinctly drawn characters, and a cavalcade of action. —SF Signal
An entertaining blend of classic adventure and inventive inspiration. —Juliet E. McKenna, author of The Thief's Gamble
Excitement, vivacity, and sly wit... simply impossible not to enjoy. —RT Book Reviews (4.5 Stars)
This brash, prolific wordsmith has a natural eloquence that grabbed my attention and refused to let go. —Locus
