Kirkus Reviews
“...Yin and Yang fill their series opener with cryptic passages and events, such as someone Fate has just met saying, ‘You and your brother have always been dear to me.’ This book doesn’t answer all of the questions, though the ending wonderfully sets the stage for the authors’ planned 60-volume series. Still, there’s laudable character development in this installment. ... The authors’ lucid prose frequently evokes the senses, particularly during Fate’s surreal dreams: ‘The sound of breathing echoed and trailed, then silence returned….Above her, stars twinkled, and beneath her feet, a dark swirling vortex spun as it reached down into endless black.’ ... A somewhat perplexing but engaging start to what’s sure to be an epic fantasy saga.”
Readers' Favorite Book Reviews (5 STARS) for the original first edition, titled Rota Fortunae
“Rota Fortunae (Grim’s Truth) is among the best written, most imaginative, and intricately plotted fantasy stories I’ve had the pleasure to read since The Lord of the Rings. But, where that epic tale relied heavily on war, familiar mythological themes and creatures, and the overarching world dominating power of an evil, supernatural being, Rota Fortunae is a character driven story, supported by a covert revolution, ingenious metaphysical attributes and events, and an imaginary world complete with a new language, concepts of universal laws, and a wonderfully orchestrated villain.”
