Praise for The Fortress of Glass “Solidly crafted fantasy.”--Publishers Weekly
 
“In a refreshing change from other books in the genre, Drake has a light touch with his characters, making them believable and serious without becoming overly ponderous or melodramatic. He employs the standard epic fantasy tropes of action, sorcery and romance to great effect in this exciting, compelling read.”--Romantic Times BOOKreviews
 
“Drake possesses every skill necessary to make this story a thoroughly absorbing, even to new readers. Those who have sailed with him through the preceding two Isles trilogies ought to eagerly demand it.” --Booklist
