In praise of Bitterwood:
"For the sake of humanity, join in Bitterwood's revolt." Kirkus Reviews
"A grabber from page one, a smart tale of adventure and revenge sprinkled with echoes of our own dangerous times. James Maxey's world of dragons and humans at war is so solidly and engagingly rendered that I never wanted to leave." John Marco
"Bitterwood is an unlikely hero in a rich world, with a rich history that holds many surprises. James Maxey tells his story with a sure hand. Enjoy the journey!" Carrie Vaughn
"Fine action and cool world building. Anne McCaffrey through a mirror darkly." E. E. Knight
"A magnificent hero story." Orson Scott Card
