"Holmes weaves a tapestry of the forthcoming events with the skill of a thaumaturge...In [the] seductive opening few lines so much of the nidus of this fantasy tale is hinted...Wade deeply into these waters for a fine curtain raiser for REFORGED. V.S. Holmes quite simply demonstrates that she is an artist of significance"
- The San Francisco Review of Books
"A well developed and subtly-layered world...filled with compelling characters and dangerous magic"
- Aurealis Magazine

- Page Morgan, author of The Beautiful and the Cursed
"The very first page hooked me with the simple yet elegant narrative...The characters' dilemmas were revealed in perfect timing yet kept me wanting more, and Holmes didn't disappoint with dropping tidbits of emotion, character growth, and internal struggle among all the the action and war-time maneuvers."
- Kathrin Hutson, author of Gyenona's Children
and The Unclaimed Trilogy
"The beauty with which, V. S. Holmes weaves this epic tale is nothing short of remarkable. The words spring from the page painting a detailed picture in your mind."
- Cameron J. Quinn, author of The Starsboro Chronicles
"I couldn't put it down to save my life and I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. The plot line was incredibly unique ... Holmes gave me a lot of the things I look for in a wonderful story and so much more."
