Review Quotes:
"What an amazing debut. Honestly, it's about as good as any debut novel I have ever read as both an editor and for pleasure. Remarkable really, and believe me, I can't often say this."
-Steven Moore, Editor
"Some of the best fantasy I have edited in a long time. The writing craft is superb, the story-telling top-notch, not to mention the in-depth character development and expert world-building. There is also a lot of emotional intelligence here, from faith to grief to the dark side of human nature..."
-Robin Fuller, Editor
"Overall, Splinters of Heaven is a mood-driven, idea-heavy grimdark fantasy with the ability to not just entertain but linger due to its heavy ideas about bought power, empires that run on suffering, and people trapped inside systems they didn't build."
-Goodreads Advance Reviewer
"Overall, Splinter of Heaven is an intense, immersive fantasy that balances action, darkness, and character development with impressive control. It's the kind of book that draws you in patiently and then refuses to let go. If you enjoy fantasy that doesn't flinch from darkness, but uses it to deepen characters rather than overwhelm the story, Splinter of Heaven is well worth your time."
