Publishers Weekly on A Tide of Black Steel
“Gritty and well-drawn, this makes a rich treat for George R.R. Martin fans.”
Publishers Weekly (starred review) on The Pariah

John Gwynne on The Pariah
"A master storyteller."
Mark Lawrence on The Pariah
"Ryan again showcases his gift for epic fantasy in his excellent sequel to The Pariah . . . . Ryan’s evocative prose enhances the suspenseful, intricate story, and the cliffhanger ending will have fans counting the days until the next volume. This fires on all cylinders."

Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) on The Traitor
