sff_sandcastle has reviewed HOLDER OF LIGHTNING, and seems to have liked it quite well -- it's nice to hear that a book of mine published five years ago is still finding new readers... A brief quote:

"This is a book that, from the perspective of what all the pros tell you to do, does everything right. Magic has rules and a price? Check. Tension in every scene? Check. Three major turning points for the protagonist? Check. All the loose ends are tied up nicely. And Farrell is very, very good at making things worse. And worse. And even more worse. Several gut-wrenching scenes in here. Characters are all great, and it's hard to tell who's on which side, and it keeps changing. Very nicely done. So is the worldbuilding."
