The writing is vivid and sensory, bringing the characters and settings to life in a most enjoyable manner.""Fry's writing, as always, is superb, with descriptions that made me feel more like I was watching the story unfold in front of me, than merely reading about it.""I was very surprised by how skillfully Ken Fry has dealt with having a central female character; it felt as if I was reading the work of a female author. The story unfolded at just the right pace, was intelligent and I do hope that a sequel will appear before too long."Get your copy Visit Ken Fry's website and join his Circle of Readers: www.booksbykenfry.comConnect on Twitter - @kenfry10 |
