BlueInk Reviewed Book Two and said - Hammer's vivid visual imagery . . . makes the character's journeys exhilarating and the battle scenes intense - BlueInk Reviews

Druantia's Curse is entertaining and full of surprises from wormholes to vampires, but it requires dedication to track all of the subplots.

In this second installment of Hammer's (Odin's Awakening, 2014) epic fantasy series, the complexities of magical warfare and romantic loyalties continue. Taking center stage once again, however, are the action sequences. They're akin to panoramic oil paintings of orgiastic chaos, as when "Hawks, Crows and Pixies broke away from the Shadow Men to punch through vampire chests in bright flares....Skulls exploded on impact, limbs falling as torn debris." Kirkus Reviews

In his third installment of the series, Hammer continues to tap a vein of phantasmagoric mayhem that should mesmerize video gamers and fans of the Lord of the Rings alike. Nearly every page displays eye-popping battle visuals: "Lightning filled the sky, a rainbow of coloured bolts, a thousand falling every second to turn the grey haze into a bright neon flare." - Kirkus Reviews
