WIN $150 GIFT VOUCHERS: ALADDIN'S GOLD
Julia Knight is married with two children, and lives with the world's daftest dog that is shamelessly ruled by the writer's obligatory three cats. She lives in Sussex, UK and when not writing she likes motorbikes, watching wrestling or rugby, killing pixels in MMOs and is incapable of being serious for more than five minutes in a row.
As Knight launches her Duellists trilogy, she skillfully reveals the backstories of the siblings and Egimont, and how Reyes has come to the brink of revolution, illuminating a complex and intriguing world. The accelerating pacing as the present and past converge will hold readers in suspense and eager for the next two books, which will be released in November and December. * BOOKLIST on SWORDS AND SCOUNDRELS * With roguish highwaymen and all the intrigue of a bloody revolution, this book will keep you guessing until the end. I can't wait to read the sequel! * Anne Lyle, author of THE ALCHEMIST OF SOULS on SWORDS AND SCOUNDRELS * After a promising start, Knight brings everything to a nice boil for the middle part of this trilogy; Legends and Liars moves fast, and possibly goes further than you'd think. But it also amply demonstrates why Knight can resolve things you might have thought she'd save for the end. The world and situation are detailed and complicated enough that everything our protagonists (and their enemies, allies and more ambiguous companions) do winds up spiralling into new problems and wrinkles. After a promising start and a thrilling middle, it'll be interesting to see how this series ends. * RT Book Reviews *
