Review: The Emperor's Knives
The Emperor's Knives by Anthony Riches My rating: 2 of 5 stars There should be some sort of drinking game, the sort of thing I’m sure Anthony Riches would approve of, based on all the eyebrow raising going on in his books, Especially The Emperor's Knives.

Review: Arrows of Fury
Arrows of Fury by Anthony Riches My rating: 4 of 5 stars I had to, thanks (?) to an eye infection, ‘read’ this with Audible. And very glad I was too. What top notch entertainment it is!
