Reader feedback
...there's something about the way Henwick tells a story, and the veracity he brings to his characters, that had me glued to the pages from the start of the first book all the way through to the end of the second.
--Charles de Lint, World Fantasy Award winning author. Full review here.
By page five of Henwick's book, I was positively green. He drew me in with the first explosive scene, making me feel as if I were hit by a Mack truck... 5 stars
