BOOK
REVIEWS

"I don't play these games and yet I was hooked in from the early pages. There are echoes of Tolkein and maybe Pratchet which probably map the territory of most fantasy fiction, but here Sparks gently subverts some of the stereotypes. Orcs become goodies with remarkable courtship rituals and Old Father Time tells bad jokes '..about time too..' . More than anything else this book is a page turner - the story drives forward with only the strictly necessary diversions for plot explanation."

"It’s just one of those books that makes you laugh out loud a lot. I can’t wait for the sequel! P.S. Spans the ages: written for adults, but my 12-year-old also devoured it and is now a huge fan!!"

"The best book I've read all year."

"Only a complete nerd would be able to write such a magnificent story"

"If you are after a light buddy road trip read with banter, then this is the one for you"

"Reminded me of many of my faves such as Ready Player One, LOTR and Willow!"

"Full of humour, wit and wry observations, in New Rock New Role Richard has created a captivating comic adventure story and a masterful realm"

"It is an impressive chunk of a book which I got completely engrossed in, and although I couldn’t wait to find out how and why the three players had been transported into this world I also didn’t want it to end."

"My friend recommended me this because I love fantasy and gaming , not going to lie I was a bit daunted by the size of the book, but I RIPPED through it , had so much fun discovering this new world"
