Critic reviews

Riverkeep is utterly engrossing. There are elements of Game of Thrones in the grittily realised violence; there is Gormenghast in the grotesque comedy; and it has the strange magic of Earthsea. The prose is by turns dense, sensuous, and funny, but never less than gripping. A superb debut novel (Anthony McGowan)

James Cosmo brought to life the characters in this beautifully written book.
Wiull is a lovely caring and brave character who really becomes a very humble hero in this story. I really do hope there is a sequel to this book, as the author gives the impression that there are many more adventures for the characters in Riverkeep.

Excellent debut for author Martin Stewart

Not very a fast paced book, good descriptions. Needed a better ending, characters tied together well.

A great book with a good storyline.
