Glass Dragons

Praise forGlass Dragons: "McMullen has a gift worthy of the best mainstream authors for creating memorable, finely nuanced characters, making him must-reading for fantasy enthusiasts."--Booklist * "Like 2002's well-receivedVoyage of the Shadowmoon, this second novel in Australian author McMullen's Moonworlds Saga expertly blends fantastic melodrama and broad farce . . . the book is especially attractive for its tricky shifts from dark, passionate intrigue to sly but rowdy slapstick, like a Storm Constantine plotline performed by Monty Python. There may be a lot of story to come before the world's balance of magical powers is restored, but the readers won't mind if additional books in the series are as entertaining as this one."--Publishers WeeklyStarred Review "This one is much better than its predecessor, which was pretty good itself, and suddenly McMullen is threatening to emerge as one of the leading names in fantasy."--Chronicle "Australian author McMullen depicts a world filled with intrigue and strange magic . . . His sometimes whimsical, always literate style brings a gentle touch of wry humor to a tale of courage and cowardice, love and death, mystery and magic."--Library Journal "A complicated and fast-moving tale of unlikely heroes . . . fans of Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams will appreciate McMullen's dry wit, shifting points of view and almost complete disregard of fantasy conventions, making for a highly entertaining and far from typical fantasy adventure."--Romantic Times "A captivating and unique blend of fantasy, comedy, cloak and dagger, sword and sorcerty, blood and thunder and almost any other pair of linked icons you care to name . . . Such is McMullen's expertise at action-packed scenes, so admirable is his spare yet evocative prose, and so fecund is his sens of invention, that you will finish this book in a gallop, eager for a third foray into the Moonworlds realm."-Scifi.com "A boisterous entertainment, as spectacular as its memorable predecessor,Voyage of the Shadowmoon. . . McMullen's heady and headstrong brand of fantastic adventure is sure to remain addictive, and I for one will follow its siren call anywhere."--LocusMcMullen, Sean is the author of 'Glass Dragons', published 2005 under ISBN 9780765347084 and ISBN 0765347083.
