Kings of the Wyld: The Band, Book One

Review Brilliant debut novel . . . Eames has cranked the thrills of epic fantasy up to 11 . . . Moreover, the plot is emotionally rewarding, original, and hilarious. Eames clearly set out to write something fun to read and he has succeeded spectacularly -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY Manages to be a comedy, an adventure tale, a consideration on growing older, and a sendup of fantasy conventions, all at the same time. It also has heart. In short: it rocks . . . I finished this book in one night. If I could, I'd see the tour, and buy the t-shirt. Instead,I'll have to content myself with waiting for the sequel, and reading it again -- B&N SCI-FI AND FANTASY BLOG An outstanding debut which will make you laugh and cry and hold your breath. This is a book that has it all -- K. J. Parker Absolutely awesome. If the Beatles held a concert tomorrow (with all the necromancy required for that to happen), it still wouldn't be as good a 'getting the band back together' story as this. Full of heroes, humor, and heart. -- Jon Hollins, author of DRAGON LORDS: FOOL'S GOLD It was a fantastic read, a rollicking, page-turning, edge-of-your-seat road-trip of a book. Great characters, loveable rogues that I genuinely cared about and all manner of fantastical monsters. All spiced with a sly sense of humour that had me smiling throughout. Wonderful -- John Gwynne, author of MALICE A promising, fast-paced debut that balances classic quest fantasy with modern sensibilities and liberal doses of humor. Huzzah! -- Alex Marshall, author of A CROWN FOR COLD SILVER Kings of the Wyld took me back to my Dungeons and Dragons days. It has well-crafted characters long past their best but still fighting, non-stop fantasy action and welcome touches of humour. Great reading! -- Ian Irvine Nicholas Eames brings brazen fun and a rock & roll sensibility to the fantasy genre -- Sebastien de Castell, author of TRAITOR'S BLADE I had a brilliant time reading this book. Kings of the Wyld is escapism of my favourite type - noble quests, edge of the seat action and well-rounded, likeable characters that carve out their own unique definition of "family" -- FORBIDDEN PLANET Kings of the Wyld is awesome, and quite possibly one of the best debut novels I've ever read . . . This is, without a shadow of a doubt, unmissable -- TINY REVIEWS An extremely entertaining debut . . .Thoroughly recommended -- SFF WORLD Joe Abercrombie meets Terry Pratchett, and that is not praise I would give lightly -- FANTASY REVIEW BARN I only have two questions that remain unanswered - (1) Where do I get my Saga tour t-shirt? (2) When does the second book come out? . . . A highly recommended debut, I can't wait for more -- THE ELOQUENT PAGE Kings of the Wyld does everything right . . . Nicholas Eames knows how to write and, more importantly, he knows how to pace and structure a novel. He mixes action and humor in equal measure, and weaves genuine emotion into the heroics. It's a fun novel, but one where sorrow and melancholy are always lurking just under the narrative . . . I loved the characters, loved the journey and even loved the climax . . . Kings of the Wyld is a fantastically fun read, from beginning to end, and I am already looking forward to the sequel. -- BEAUTY IN RUINS Kings of the Wyld is rollicking, explosive fun from cover to cover . . . written with exuberance and elan. Always assured, Eames strikes the same balance as Pratchett at his best, drawing humour from the conventions and tropes of high fantasy while also clearly loving them -- BLUE BOOK BALLOON This will be one of THE books of 2017. Brilliant, innovative, immersive and just pure fun to read. -- THE BOOK PLANK There are gladiatorial arenas, aerial battles, pissed off dragons, crazy portal-hopping madcap assassins . . . It is goofy and silly and fast-moving and explodey. And it does all those things well . . . Wyld also works hard to make its characters meaningful - you're not just along for the craaaaazy ride, you actually
