Critics Review
-
‘WITCHSIGN is crammed with delicious mythology and populated with irresistible characters – a treat for anyone who loves fresh, modern fantasy’
JEN WILLIAMS, author of The Copper Cat and The Winnowing Flame trilogies -
‘Witchsign triggered that ‘I can’t wait to get back to it’ feeling in me. The current of the story caught me right away and I was swept along with the characters. Den Patrick hit the perfect mix of immediate action and characters I cared about. His prose wastes no words. (I loved the concept of the cinderwraiths!)’
ROBIN HOBB -
‘May Gods help those who don’t read Witchsign.’
