★★★★ – … there is something for every avid fantasy genre fan. He begins the story with a hint of mystery as the major players are neither obvious nor are their origin stories fully fleshed out. This approach, though unusual, does an excellent job of piquing the reader’s interest to seek a better understanding of the overall story plot. Even that pales compared to the extensive attention to detail that goes into the entire novel. The battles are vivid, the descriptions of locations make you feel like you are practically walking those streets beside Vald and his colleagues, and the conversations between the characters have a distinct edge to them, which lets the reader know that McKay is deliberately saving the big reveal for the latter stages of the novel. Ultimately, McKay’s unusual delivery in his storytelling gives Rise Of Dresca a unique appeal that readers will find fascinating.
