Customer Reviews
Great read!
Highly recommend to read the earlier books in this series first
Pharaoh
Better on the second read but still doesn’t match the power of the first four, River God , Warlock , Quest and the Seventh Scroll. It’s like Turkish Delight, sweet chewy and easily digested. No surprises here.
Simply Horrid
Amateurish rubbish!
