“Brett’s custom blend of action and suspense, stirred into a unique
magic system, has been justifiably a fan favorite for fifteen
years.”—Robin Hobb, New York Times bestselling author of The
Farseer Trilogy
“The Warded Man works not only as a great adventure novel but
also as a reflection on the nature of heroism.”—Charlaine
Harris
“I enjoyed The Warded Man immensely. There is much to
admire in Peter Brett’s writing, and his concept is brilliant.
There’s action and suspense all the way, plus he made me care about
his characters and want to know what’s going to happen next.”—Terry
Brooks
“As a genre, fantasy promises so much, and in The Warded Man, Peter
V. Brett delivers in spectacular fashion. Books like this are why
we read fiction, and most of us spend an entire lifetime searching
for a story as good as this one. Read it, and there'll forever be a
divide: life before The Warded Man and life after it. That’s how
good it is.”—Evan Winter, author of The Rage of Dragons
“There are fantasy books that are all about the plot, fantasy books
that are all about the characters, and fantasy books that are all
about the world building. The Warded Man manages to be about all of
that. A compelling read, inventive, fascinating, and demons .
. . so many demons.”—Mark Lawrence, internationally bestselling
author of The Book That Wouldn’t Burn
“Brett's debut builds slowly and grimly on a classic high fantasy
framework of black-and-white morality and bloodshed. . . . With its
nameless enemies that exist only to kill, Brett’s gritty tale will
appeal to those who tire of sympathetic villains and long for
old-school orc massacres.”—Publishers Weekly
“An absolute masterpiece . . . The novel [is] literally
‘unputdownable,’ and certainly deserves to be the next Big Thing in
dark fantasy.”—HorrorScope
“A very accomplished debut fantasy, broad in its scope.”—SFRevu
“A fabulous new fantasy series . . . that is likely to become a
classic. Excellent fantasy literature.”—The Cairns Post,
Queensland, Australia
