REVIEWS:

"Rich in bone crunching violence and a grimly convincing sense of place and character, I found this an addictive mix of gangland intrigue and historical fantasy. More please." --Anthony Ryan, author of BLOOD SONG

"A sinister fantasy-noir that lands like a punch to the throat."--FANFIADDICT.COM

"The worldbuilding is so good, you feel the cold, the fear, the misery, and the filth of the city like a weight. The city of Norylska is a character in its own right." --FANTASY-FACTION

"Norylska Groans reframes classic motifs in an industrial-era world unlike any other I've read thus far." --THE FANTASY HIVE

"A brilliant Russian-influenced low fantasy that I stole every minute to read. If you like a bit of the old ultraviolence & a superb story, here be your poison. Absolutely engrossing." --OUT OF THIS WORLDSFF REVIEWS

"The magic system. Holy crap, the magic system. It. Is. Everything. Understated, yet incredibly powerful, the magic impacts the most personal part of you, and fundamentally changes you while doing so." --Sarah Chorn, author of Seraphina's Lament

"By the power invested in me by my little blog... I declare this book RAD! But dangerous... so very dangerous!!! 5 out of 5 stars!" --Paul's Picks

"Utterly brilliant." --Booknest.eu

"This is not for the faint of heart." --Lynn's Book Blog

"A fantastic example of grimdark fantasy..." --The Critiquing Chemist
