MEDIA REVIEWS
Reminiscent of Final Fantasy, Masters of the Universe, and Moorcock's The Jewel in the Skull, Ashes of the Sun is a science-fantasy adventure brimming with everything that is weird and wonderful about a world where magic and technology have fused in the fires of a fallen civilization -- Jonathan French, author of The Grey Bastards
Ashes of the Sun shows that Wexler is a master of high fantasy. His plotting and this post-apocalyptic setting will warp your mind! -- SM Stirling, NYT bestselling author
Gorgeous writing, powerfully drawn characters, and an exciting storyline! -- KD Edwards, author of The Last Sun and The Hanged Man
Exciting. Immersive. Epic. A perfect page turner and a phenomenal start to a new series -- Peter Clines, author of The Fold and Ex-Heroes
A high-octane, dystopian fantasy thrill-ride... Scintillating... Unpredictable and shocking too. Highly recommended' * Grimdark Magazine *
Wexler's best work yet... Ashes of the Sun has scale and pace, and tension and batshit cool scenery, and I enjoyed it a hell of lot' * Tor.com *
Immersive and wondrous... Highly, highly recommended. It will take a great deal for any fantasy novel in 2020 to knock Ashes of the Sun off my top fantasy spot for the year' * SFF World *
Wexler demonstrates a talent for worldbuilding in the impressive post-apocalyptic fantasy that launches his Burningblade and Silvereye trilogy * Publishers Weekly. *
Immensely enjoyable, this high fantasy novel contains characters and a storyline to die for... Not only is this a fast-paced beautifully diverse read, I found the humour perfectly timed... Ashes of the Sun has it all, and comes with the higher than highly recommended tag' * LoveReading. *
There are monsters to fight and relics from a now-vanished, more advanced civilisation, which makes for some colourful worldbuilding... The prose and pacing are strong, bolstered by impressively vivid action scenes. Wexler gradually raises the stakes' * SFX Magazine *
An action-filled book with plenty of daring escapes and breathtaking duels between competing forces of magic... Ashes of the Sun is a fun-filled, exiting, fast-paced fantasy romp that Django Wexler executes with impressive skill and precision' * Zealot Script *
