a breath of fresh air …
Read it and remind yourself what made you fall in love with
fantasy.”
- Starburst Magazine
"Fresh and exciting, full of wit and wonder and magic and
action, The Copper Promise is *the* fantasy novel we've
been waiting for."
– Adam Christopher
"There are pirates and magic, demons and disciples, undead soldiers
and noble knights. If you're thinking this sounds like a lot of fun
you'd be gods damned right."
– Den Patrick
"...a killer of a fantasy novel that is indicative of how the
classic genre of sword and sorcery is not only still very much
alive, but also still the best the genre has to offer."
– Jet Black Ink
"Williams' fast-paced narrative never leaves room for a pause and
captivates from page one."

and sorcery mixed to a fresh new recipe."

you by."

"The Copper Cat trilogy is the kind of swords and sorcery fantasy
which will make you remember why you became a fan of the genre in
the first place, and fall in love with it all over again."
– Geek Syndicate
"The Copper Promise didn't so much arrive as kick the door in and
demand to know why it wasn't already drunk... the most exuberant,
light on its feet, smarter than it wants you to think novel on the
shelves this year. Pick it up, before it picks your pocket and
sells your stuff back to you."
– Alasdair Stuart
"If you're looking for a swashbuckling adventure, look no further
than The Copper Promise. The characters shine throughout the book,
but there is enough action and drama to keep even those
non-character driven readers entertained. Happily, the ending
leaves readers with the sense that more adventures for our trio are
in store."
- The Book Adventures
