THE DANCE OF THE GODS SAGA
“Another bit of good reading … plenty of action, likeable characters, plot twists galore, a lighthearted humorous style and some pretty good lines.”
– Out Of This World Tribune & Niekas
“Three separate lines of action engage disparate characters in a race to converge at last in a huge blast of action … leaving the reader breathless but satisfied….A writer to watch for further adventure-full reading.”
– Kliatt
“A generally humorous and entertaining piece.”
– Science Fiction Chronicle
“An enjoyable book. The characters have a sense of who they are and can laugh at their own foibles. The action moves swiftly.”
– Locus
“A lot of confusion, mayhem, action and adventure — but better yet, a sense of the humorous that doesn’t rely on puns.”
– Bakka Bookie Sheet
“Brenner writes in a quick-paced style which perfectly matches his plot twists … a book rich in people, places and complications and one which is enjoyable either by itself or in tandem with the first in the series.”
– Quantam
“Zany and very, very clever describe it pretty well.”
– Kliatt
“A winner … I was utterly hooked. Its not a belly-laugh-inducing parody of a fantasy so much as an off-the-wall kind of fantasy in its own right….The nearest I can get to the general tenor is The Man from U.N.C.L.E. with magic rings instead of talking pens.”
– Interzone
“Like riding on a racing carousel.”
– Kliatt
“For those who like their fantasy with plenty of adventure and a dollop of humor, I recommend The Dance of Gods, of which this is the fourth and final volume…. The frenetic pace keeps things moving … some wonderfully grotesque bits … non-stop action, highly entertaining … an intriguing and delightfully funny series.”
– Locus
“This is a charming lighthearted fantasy. The gods are so klutzy and the magic is so ill-fated that the reader smiles through dungeons, fire and death….The action is non-stop and always exciting. The final fight is a doozy … an amusing climax in which all story lines from the earlier volumes come to a conclusion.”
– Voya
“Zany, entertaining reading for anyone who enjoyed the first three books of the Dance of Gods series.”
– Kliatt
“Wild and woolly adventure abounding with inept sorcery, strange gods and downright funny fantasy.”
– Rave Reviews
