“I just finished reading The Oathwarden: The Path of Blood, and I had to tell you how much it moved me. From the very first page, I was completely drawn in—the world you’ve built is so vivid and immersive, and the characters felt alive in a way that made me laugh with them, ache for them, and even tear up at times.
The suspense was perfectly balanced: enough to keep me guessing, but never so heavy that it slowed the story. I found myself racing through chapters, unable to put the book down, yet savoring the details that made the journey so rich. I was also trying to slow my reading when I realized I was close to the end, because I didn't want it to be over. Even after finishing, I’m still thinking about the questions and mysteries you left lingering—it’s the kind of story that stays with you long after the last page.
Thank you for crafting such an unforgettable experience. Your storytelling is powerful, and it reminded me why I love reading: to be transported and challenged. I’m already looking forward to whatever comes next in this series, and I’ll be cheering you on every step of the way.”

“The Oathwarden opened with one of the strongest hooks I've seen in a long time, and the residual air of mystery and tension continues all the way through the end. The characters are unique and memorable, the book always feels like it has real stakes, and regular, clever twists constantly kept me on my toes. It blends sci-fi and fantasy elements seamlessly, mixed with mystery and spiced with horror elements for an unforgettable story. I enjoyed the book immensely, and I look forward to where Thomas's journey will take him!”

“Wow! As an avid reader of many classic books ranging from fantasy to science fiction, this book is awesome! I love the classic battles between good and evil with good always winning! From the very first chapter enter Thomas! Conrad's use of the English language is amazing and had me feeling like I was there! Then Rebecca enters, and all the amazing creatures and people, good and bad, had me captured from the first chapter! Highly recommend!”

“This book was great from start to finish. It's not my typical genre, but I loved it. I found it very well rounded. It has adventure, humor, mystery, and even a bit of relationship drama. I can't wait for the next in the series to come out!”
