“A complex tale that successfully incorporates politics, war, polytheistic religion, and family ties.” –Quill and Quire on Mother of Lies

“Duncan is one of our more consistently interesting fantasy authors ... Exciting action scenes and serious interpersonal intrigue enhance an already well-constructed plot." –Critical Mass on Mother of Lies

“Duncan's storytelling has never been better [than] in this superb fantasy.... How the children of Celebre reunite makes for a captivating, adventure-filled story.” --Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Children of Chaos

“The estimable Duncan's mad plots, dark intrigues, vivid cast and lashings of magic leave many engrossing mysteries to be elucidated in volume two.” --Kirkus Reviews on Children of Chaos

“This odd group of siblings...behave nothing at all like the standard protagonists of epic fantasy but a great deal like real people thrust into Interesting Times. . . . Duncan, that wily devil, has done it again!” --Locus on Children of Chaos

“Dave Duncan produces excellent work in book after book, yet never gains the attention he deserves. This is a fun book but with more substance than most light fantasy. . . . Another solid entry by a writer who deserves a wider audience.” --SFReview on Children of Chaos
