Description: "Vivid, intelligent, and painful in an authentically laudable way." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "The idea of the power of human language in magic runs through the story and is supported by the writing. Vivid characters, political intrigue, and family drama make this a solid, imaginative work." -- Library Journal (starred review) "Will appeal to readers who enjoy high fantasy, complex worlds, and characters that change and grow throughout the story." -- Booklist (starred review) Praise for Blake Charlton: "Read Spellwright for its words, magic, word-magic, and wordplay. Inventive, but in a traditional vein: good vs evil, deathmatch . " --Brent Weeks, New York Times bestselling author "Spellwright is exactly the kind of book that got me into fantasy in the first place...built a world that is as new as it is classic. Blake Charlton is a talent to watch." --Daniel Abraham "Think words can't hurt you? Sometimes, they can kill. The spells of textual magic of this enthralling take will demonstrate how." --Terry Brooks, New York Times bestselling author, on Spellwright
