Rising Shadow Review
Risingshadow Review - one of the largest science fiction and fantasy book websites
"I'm happy to say that this novel is one of the best and most complex independently published fantasy novels I've had the pleasure of reading (it outshines many other fantasy novels in terms of complexity and worldbuilding).
One of the best things about the Emperor of Mu is that it's a surprisingly fast-paced fantasy novel. The author takes his time to set things up, but he does it with style and doesn't let the story become muddled with meaningless events and keeps things in motion (although the pacing is delightfully swift, nothing feels rushed in this novel).
The author manages to keep the various events intriguing and maintains the reader's interest in the story by gradually revealing details about the world and the characters. This novel is one of the best fantasy novels independently available for epic fantasy readers and should be read by those who love complex and intricate stories."
Amazon Reviews
Grady Harp - HALL OF FAME Top 100 Amazon Reviewer "New names, new ideas, and Jason manages to involve us to the point of initiating a hunger to turn the page and march into the story. Exceptional writing with interesting and always surprising developments makes this an impressive debut for an author of fine potential.
"V.E. Amazon VINE VOICE Top 3,500 Reviewer “This is a book to become immersed in, with its complicated and astute plot, and killer suspense. Throw in some dragons, romance, and bitter rivalries, and you have a well put together story.”
J. Armstrong Top 14,000 Amazon Reviewer - not afraid to be critical. The world-building and character-building in this story were superb. I would compare this author’s worldbuilding to the likes of Brandon Sanderson. I truly enjoyed this story, the intrigue, and the realism drew me into the story and kept me turning pages. The plot was unique, and the story pace was even throughout, which is important in such a long story. A long fantasy epic that is certainly worth your time and attention.
