“Fantasy is a wonderful genre where what the mind conceives, the mind can create. In the hands of a skilled and imaginative writer like Ms. Hall, the happy result is a place and time that others not only can visit, but can experience through the eyes and minds of the people who inhabit the place–a book like Storm Dancer.” ~ John R. Hoddy, Amazon Review

“This is the first epic fantasy book let alone fantasy story I’ve read and liked in a really long time. Which will make this a longer review then I usually write. The rating is correct. This is an R-rated story. The characters are complex in that there are no clear-cut ‘good guys’. The lead man is possessed by a nasty djinn and he rapes women and murders everyone else. The lead woman is a prig. What holds your attention is the detailed world where all this takes place. These personalities are shaped by the world they live in and it is harsh with prejudices and -isms. With a chance at redemption. Each battles their own quirks. There is a large supporting well-defined cast with interwoven stories resolved. The ending sucks. Why take so much time to build this up and end it so hastily? Other than that I thoroughly enjoyed the story!” ~ The Djinn, Amazon Reviews
