Critical Praise

'Once the story picks up, reading becomes compulsive, and an entire weekend was devoted to finishing up Tymon’s Flight. Mary Victoria has created an intriguing world, likeable characters, and a tried-and-true conflict of heroic underdogs versus corrupt priestly bureaucrats. I'd be first in line to pick up the sequel.' www.fantasyliterature.com/victoriamary.html‘this hybridisation of familiar concepts is one of the biggest factors that give this tale such a broad potential base of fans. Old ideas given new life through creative mixing and reinvigorating... that's what keeps innovation going’ www.kiwireviews.co.nz/review/ -
