Editorial Reviews – At the End of Everything
Self-publishing Review ★★★★½ “A second fantastic dive into the realm of Ostamp. The clever convergence of storylines shows Lücke to be a skilled draftsman, in the spirit of all great fantasy authors. There are brilliant lines and passages peppered across this novel, some so good they’ll force you back for another read, while the action sequences and magical exchanges are exhilarating – a one-two punch that is rare in the world of fantasy writing. Lücke demonstrates a masterful use of language, bursts of unforgettable prose, a rich tapestry of characters, and a penchant for mythical history in this remarkably good second installment.” See full review at Self-Publishing Review
