"Outstandingly swashbuckling, outrageously gripping and out-of-this-world brilliant." -- Daily Mail "Broad and detailed. the blend of mystery and bloody battles produces a compelling voyage" -- SFX, 4* "Thrilling" -- Sunday Post "Atmospheric, vivid, and told like an epic song. Fantasy as it should be - human, bloody, big-hearted, and full of wonder." --Catriona Silvey " The Deep And The Drowned is a captivating display of Green's narrative power, he has constructed a hypnotic epic full of twisty cruelty and tangled loyalties, and threaded through it all a potent undercurrent of resistance and the brutality of power." --Lorraine Wilson "PRAISE FOR IAN GREEN: 'Excellent, vivid worldbuilding.

] Its voice is challenging, unrelenting, and veering between heartbreak and humour. [A] song to my soul and a punch in the gut. Read it.' Hannah Kaner 'An exciting and action-packed fantasy' SF Book Review 'Green's worldbuilding is unique and creative. This book appeals to both enthusiasts of high fantasy as well as the more everyday fantasy reader. Epic action, deep world-building, and colourful characters make for a magical debut, forged in compelling inspirations. There's plenty more magic to come'" -- The Publishing Planet "Killian Heroneye [is] not your stereotypical action hero of epic fantasy. He's very much a real person, a deeply flawed, ambiguous character who often does the wrong thing for the wrong reasons, is riddled with regrets and isn't always in control of situations, and keeps you wondering just how much of his real story we're being told.
