"I literally devoured this addictive story . . . McMahon has written an inspired creation of wondrous proportions, substance and scope that’s enviable of many fantasy writers (both contemporary and classic) . . . the perfect combination for an out-of-this-world read. I found myself reading just another chapter … and another chapter … I was hooked! I highly commend such a skilled author."

"I love fantasy adventures, and the characters, world and plot in this one fulfilled all I hoped for. . . The sword and sorcery, which I love, is top notch. The characters are in-depth and believable. The main protagonists were very likable – I was rooting for them all the way – and the antagonist is multidimensional as well"

"Exceptional First Novel. The promise of excellent worldbuilding is kept . . . McMahon has learned the lesson of subtly drawing a reader’s attention to the important details and building on them as they are mentioned. The strangeness of the world becomes less strange but more wondrous since the environmental, biological, magical and cultural aspects of the story and seamlessly integrated and operate together."

Robert A. Defrank via Amazon

In response to The Calvanni

"If you’re after a fast paced, complex adventure with detailed world building, politics and characters, then The Calvanni may be just what you’re looking for."
