The future of epic fantasy is here--and this saga is it."--Kirkus, <i>Starred Review</i> <p/>"The secrets, lies, betrayals (including to himself) all make for a read that is one to pay attention to. Something like PKD and Wolfe teaming up to write City State Fantasy." -Tor.com <p/>"Nick Martell is well on his way to becoming a huge talent in the world of fantasy fiction."--The BiblioSanctum <p/>"As the second book in a series, <i>The Two-Faced Queen</i> heeds the call admirably, the story is advanced, tension is raised. Martell's storytelling skills are still of a very high caliber." --SFFWorld <p/>"<i>The Two-Faced Queen </i>is a BIG book (592 pages), so that's George R.R. Martin territory. But readers will be rewarded with a rich fantasy world that reminds me a little of the imaginative environments created by Robert Jordan or Brandon Sanderson... Make no mistake, this book works quite well as a standalone."--<i>The Sarasota Scene</i> <p/><i>"</i>Now, this is how you write a sequel. There's some truly satisfying and explosive moments in this book, including one that actually saw my jaw dropping open in shock."--Jeremy Szal, author of <i>Stormblood</i><br><br>"A richly rewarding fantasy that seethes with mysteries, fuzed with a mindscrew of a magic system.
