"Readers who enjoy highly dramatic epic fantasies will appreciate this blend of political intrigue, star-crossed romance, large-scale battles, and a hint of magic. Great for fans of Janny Wurts and Raymond E. Feist's Empire Trilogy, and Seth Dickinson's The Traitor Baru Cormorant." - Publishers Weekly
"The author has created a complex story line nestled against stunning worldbuilding. The plot is rich and meandering, but laser-focused on the details for discerning readers. Dragons Unremembered is a foreign and complex world, and the author is able to recount its history and culture through narration and dialogue, rather than long, descriptive passages-a potent way to set up the story while still engaging readers. The book hums with diverse characters and a vibrant, multilayered setting, and the creative storytelling flawlessly immerses readers in the plot. Readers will glean insight into the main players through their words and actions, and the large, varied cast is most effective when reacting naturally to the tense moments in the story. 9.75 out of 10." ― Booklife Prize
