Review quotes : “ At first sight , it ’ s classic sword and sorcery , set on a world populated by fighting men , merchants , wizards and a multitude of mythical , non-mythical and just plain made-up beasts . There ’ s a difference , though , in the style of the storytelling . It ’ s a first person narrative , executed very much in the style of the hard-boiled private eye genre .” — Dave Brzeski , the British Fantasy Society .
“ Bonadonna balances the human and the grimness in such a way that one never becomes suffocated . Instead , the humor and wit make the characters seem more real , as some of the characters , including Dorgo , use the humor to deal with the darkness they confront .” — Keith West , Amazing Stories Magazine .
