Reviews

Ever want to see what the critics out there think of my work?  Here's the first reviews for Asphodel, with blurbs and links!  Thanks to all the review sites who accepted my work for review...and to all of the reviewers?  You're on my Christmas card list!

"...What makes this tale rise high on the tide, at least for this reader - an admitted fantasy purist - is two-fold. Most importantly, Celina Summers maintains supreme control of an archetypal fantasy story structure while making the tale fresh and engaging enough for even the most diehard fantasy reader. She weaves a tale that is both familiar and unexpected; because she remains so true to the genre, readers can trust her to lead them to explore untried paths in a familiar fantasy landscape..."--MyShelf.com 

"The Reckoning of Asphodel, by Celina Summers, is traditional high fantasy, with chivalric knights and wood-wise elves, beautiful princesses and wise female seers, good and evil sorcerers and magicians. It's written in the language typical of the genre. It is, however, much better written, with more complex characters and situations, than many similar books. This is a serious fantasy novel, not the verbal equivalent of a computer game..."--Novelspot.com

"...Author Celina Summers debut novel is full of characters that will call to to you, even as you sleep; a story that haunts you and a world so magical it comes to you in your dreams. THE RECKONING OF ASPHODEL is a master piece in word building, character building and delivering a story so complex and heart felt, the reader is caught up in it all until the last page is read..."--Love Romances & More  

"...  The Reckoning of Asphodel is high elven fantasy at its best and I can't wait for the rest of the story to unfold. This story needs to be in print so I can drag it around with me for reading without banging my laptop up..." -- Dog Wild

More reviews upcoming! I'll keep you posted.
