Reviews

... Set in a historically altered United Kingdom, The Corral Ring blends traditional elements of epic fantasy with fairy lore and Arthurian legend. The worldbuilding is richly layered, the magic system deeply thought out, and the characters complexly developed. The plot moves at a nice pace, keeping readers intrigued without losing or overwhelming them. There are even a few plot twists delivered in such a way that attentive readers suspect them moments before they are revealed, which gives the satisfying sense of being in on the surprise without feeling that the story is predictable. ... - Lauricia Matuska ... This genre is particularly characterized by long word counts and abrupt, unfulfilling endings. But, in this book's case, while it certainly does have the former, the latter is thankfully avoided by this tremendously good author. ... I found myself utterly engaged with Richards's writing. He is exceptionally eloquent, his narrative, characters and dialogue are infused with humour and loaded with the author's personality; the sentences he constructs are clever, interesting and witty. Sure, the book is long, and does feel it at times, perhaps crying out to be moved along a little quicker, but character interaction is the star aspect of the author's work. It is a book for the intelligent fantasy reader, and Richards shows his maturity over the usual YA author with whom this genre is suddenly so popular. Focusing more on the thoughtfulness and diplomacy of the political arena, rather than the frivolity of the fairy-tale world - even though it does include sprites, elves and gnomes - there is much more Lord of the Rings about this book than Never Ending Story... - Matt McAvoy

Author Information

Thomas Richards is a software engineer and law graduate. A creative and perhaps even overactive mind drew him to those areas, but then he discovered an appetite for fantasy fiction - specifically sword and sorcery. It wasn't long before writing became his go-to outlet for his creativity, and his passion drove him to take it further. On the days that Tom isn't working on his mythos or dreaming up new fictitious scenes, he can be found taking long walks while plugged into an audiobook, practicing Wing-Chun and Karate, or telling someone that he really should take up cycling again.
