An absolute masterpiece... for me, the novel was literally "unputdownable," and certainly deserves to be the next Big Thing in dark fantasy."
Horrorscope (Australia)
A fabulous new fantasy series by Brett. The new world he has created is complete, complicated, and fascinating. Brett's ability to make his creations feel real is the stamp of excellent fantasy. This is a series that is likely to become a classic.
Cairns Post (Cairns, Australia)
Very likeable... a very accomplished debut fantasy, without doubt exciting and with exceptionally well-rendered characters -- the fate of whom the reader cares very much about. How the fight against demonkind will develop, I cannot guess, but I will most certainly be visiting Peter V. Brett's misty and murky world to find out. Recommended.

I enjoyed THE WARDED MAN immensely. There is much to admire in Peter Brett's writing, and his concept is brilliant. Action and suspense all the way; he made me care about his characters and want to know what's going to happen next.
Terry Brooks
Peter Brett's tremendously readable first novel, THE WARDED MAN, is set in a harsh and feudal world in which demons rule the night. No one is free until a hero rises who is willing to defy the demons, but at a terrible price. THE WARDED MAN works not only as a great adventure novel, but a reflection on the nature of heroism.

Anne just gave me the good news about Peter Brett. Thank you! Thank you so much!!! I absolutely loved the book and I'd have been devestated not to get the rights to it. Yesterday night I was coming back from a weekend on the countryside with friends in a car, and we discussed characters and demons and everything for hours, like kids.
Gosh, I'm so thrilled! I hadn't been so genuinely enthusiastic about a Fantasy novel in a long time. Can't wait for book two!
