Review:

"Kristen Britain's "Blackveil "has everything that "Green Rider" fans could hope for, including romance, adventure, humor, time travel, dark magic, entertaining drama, ghosts, prophetic visions, and much more."--Fantasy Book Critic

"The latest Kariagan epic fantasy is a terrific entry loaded with subplots that provide the reader with both the big picture of the world of Kristin Britain and the small scale happenings that impact the larger scope.... With a strong diverse cast (a trademark of Ms. Britain), fans will welcome the return to Sacoridia."--Midwest Book Review

"If you read my reviews long enough, you'll soon come to realize that I love good epic fantasy more than anything else. There's something about the heroism, the magic systems, the adventure, and the bold characters that I truly enjoy. And for me, Kristen Britain's books fit the bill. "--Owlcat Mountain

"Britain provides plenty of action... and a good command of character."--Booklist (for THE HIGH KING'S TOMB)

"Britain keeps the excitement high from beginning to end, balancing epic magical battles with the humor and camaraderie of Karigan and her fellow riders."--Publishers Weekly (for THE HIGH KING'S TOMB)

"Karigan's adventures, full of strange and deadly encounters, provide [BLACKVEIL's] core.... With characters you care about, touches of complicated romance, and some wonderfully weird developments (vampire hummingbirds!), this is a hard-to-put-down adventure." -- Locus
