Reviews
“I think what charmed me about it is the absolutely unabashed manner in which Green has copied the style of almost any current cop/detective/sleuth TV show — I kept seeing Hawk as a slightly aging Ken Wahl, and the situations and dialogue are straight off your current screen […] Green makes this peculiar combination of classic fantasy and modern tube script work; it’s good fun, and ideal light reading.”Asimov's SF Magazine
“Swift, intriguing and lively. Green has a marvelous gift of leavening grim situations with wicked wit, and the intrigues are intricative enough to leave even the most practised mystery-solver puzzling. A stormer of a series. Fine stuff.”Prism UK
“Haven is one of the most interesting settings yet to appear in fantasy fiction, and Green’s very different approach to writing fantasy adventure — bearing a strong resemblance to the private eye novel — works surprisingly well.”Science Fiction Chronicle
“Green’s hallmark–mashing up genres and inventing something entirely new and engaging–is on full display in these three stories. At heart a modern police proceedural, the inclusion of a fantasy-medieval setting, magic of various stripes and a backstory familiar to Green’s faithful readers, make the Haven series far more than the sum of its parts. A high fantasy counterpart to the Nightside. Strongly recommended.”SFRevu
