★Reviews★
"True to form this book continued the authors wild ride into strange lands and even stranger characters. The author is a very visual storyteller, which is something I really appreciated, not being someone who tends to pick up a book. The pictures of the amazing world he has envisioned and the amazing cast of main and supporting characters, all come to life in graphic display through the authors descriptive prose. This book is action packed, with characters chasing the magic chamber and its contents through amazing worlds, grotesque and frightening creatures, and all sorts of horrific perils that await the stories characters as it unfolds." - ★★★★★ Amazon
"Requiem for the Bastards (great title, by the way) was absolutely worth the wait. It was just as well paced as the original and the locations and characters were very well crafted. I also really liked the direction the story went in, with its multiple locations, one being a city of acid, another being an enormous city made of steel and then finally a tribe of men and women who tame and ride sharks through the sea while wearing special, protective suits. My son made me read him those scenes many times. He absolutely loved it!" - ★★★★★ Amazon
"This story was a wild ride and really well plotted out. I also like the subtle tie in to the authors stand alone novel, Haliden's Fire, at the end of Requiem. Really cool, new world and definitely an author to look out for!" - ★★★★★ Amazon
"Vivid, visceral and unpredictable - this is the un-put-downable sequel to Sand & Scrap. Sendrowski's writing allows the reader to be THERE; in the jaws of the laxore, floating atop the Acid and in the disintegrating rusting structures of Tritan. The complex plot climaxes to an apocalyptic finale which left me reluctant leave this amazingly envisaged world... Definitely a re-reader!" - ★★★★★ Amazon
