Trade Review"The Shield of Daqan is yet another great example of a Guymer story, which means that it's fun, that's it's exciting, that it has characters with personality, that it moves rapidly - taking you to interesting places to see interesting things... Maybe this says something more about me than it does anything else, but I can't remember the last time I read a book with such legitimately heroic heroes. It's something I didn't know I was missing, but I was thrilled." -- The Mortal Realms
"An all-round winner! A Great cast of unconventional characters driving a fast-paced plot of heroes vs villains. Beautifully described in both world and character actions." -- Eternal Bookcase
"It's fun, it's exciting, it's literally dripping with personality, and what’s more, you need absolutely zero knowledge of the setting. This is a perfect franchise genre novel in my opinion." -- Big Geordie Geek
