Shortlisted, Best Fantasy Book

Centre for Youth Literature

Blaze of Glory is undoubtedly one of the best books I've read this year. Hooked deftly from the first clever line, I was transfixed to the very end by a writer utterly in control of his craft . . . Long live Aubrey Fitzwilliam!

Kate Forsyth, Aurealis

This is without doubt one of the best written and most enjoyable books I have had the pleasure of reading.

The Online Book Group

Could be put in the same league as the work of Eoin Colfer, Christopher Paolini and (dare I say it) JK Rowling . . . Blaze of Glory will not disappoint.

Viewpoint

Non-stop, action packed, thrilling adventure that is resplendent with scientifically based magic, spies, murderous golems, magically manufactured beasts, political intrigue, and even a little bit of romance . . . Blaze of Glory will delight readers of all ages.

Large Print Reviews

I absolutely loved Blaze of Glory ... I highly recommend this novel to all young and older adults - even those who think they don't like fantasy. This, in my opinion, is the book to convert such readers.

Aurealis Xpress

Blaze of Glory is not a run of the mill fantasy/adventure. It is full of political intrigue, mystery and action… I am sure many readers will be eagerly awaiting the sequel, Heart of Gold.
