RT Book ReviewsonMalice of Crows Rhett is an appealing hero, gruff and prickly on the surface, with deep feeling poorly hidden underneath, and his friends are complex, well-drawn characters. The stakes couldn't be higher, and the story couldn't be more absorbing. Fans of the Shadow will love returning to his world, and fantasy fans who haven't yet encountered this colorful cowboy should hurry up and dive in.
Kirkus(starred review) onMalice of Crows Rhett is one of Bowen's (Dawson's) best characters to date, and the world lă!
