Just finished the book and loved it. Ended up not being able to put it down, haven't read like that for quiet sometime. Beautiful story of adventure with great underlying morals and characters. Well done Richard Ellicott on an excellent first book, I look forward to the next.
​
I haven't read an entire novel since high school (and that was a long time ago!), but this book kept me intrigued all the way through. Richard paints a fantastic picture of the environment to complement the characters of such depth that you'll find yourself hoping that no harm comes to them, (or does depending on said character).
​
Brilliant read. Captivating from start to finish, with so much content for the imagination. Suspenseful, horrific and lovely, I whole heartedly commend the author on blending so many characters, stories and timelines into a well flowing, thought provoking, unforgettable book.
​
A brilliant read! Richard Ellicott has written an engrossing well written story with plenty of twists and turns right through to the end. Just who the night slayer is adds a little bit of mystery. Sets it up for a sequel?
Great read. One of those books that you can't wait to get back too. Unexpected twists and turns keep it exciting. Can't wait for Richard Ellicott's next book.
​
A gripping, brilliantly written fantasy story. The use and spectrum of vocabulary are clever, adding greater depth to the narrative. I dearly hope we hear more from this talented author in the future. Awesome read.
​
I loved this book. The twists, the turns, the detailed descriptions - all brilliant. The story is engaging. Each night I would look forward to reading it. This is an epic tale of family, breaking traditions and life. You have to read it!!
